Well i just drove my shonky old sierra that has been through hell and back with turbo's hanging off it, been in a crash, dodgy fueling system etc for a good few hundred miles, not a problem.... picked up a '89 supra and it can't even make it half way back... jap crap

anyway.. here it is

Was driving home and i heard a sort of rattling coming from the top of the engine (as far as i could hear), i presumed it was a bit of cam wear knocking a bit, but it only does it when maintaining a constant speed, not accelerating or deaccelerating. After a while i heard my tappets getting louder and louder but never thought anything of it as my engine oil looks like it's never been changed and the oil pressure was still good. so.... after a little longer i started to hear a knocking and that's when i pulled over and turned engine off, water overflowing from the reservoir overflow pipe. I quickly started it again to double check oil pressure and it read 0, nothing.

I want to know what your thoughts are on the problem? simply replace oil pump? maybe bearings are shot now although i did have oil pressure until i stopped the engine.

Thanks.
