Hi, i think i have possibly killed my engine through simple stupidity, really do need some advise with this one.
just lately i have been getting a knocking noise from the engine on first start of the day, this only lasts for a second or two and then is ok, each and every start there after is fine.
Oil warning light always goes straight out, but oil pressure gauge would only read about 30 at best, but would drop off to nil after a few miles, ( engine running sweet).
To day i removed the oil pressure relief valve to check it was clear and spring ok etc, every thing looked alright. reassembled it all ( it was only apart for 30 mins).
started the engine, and had the heaviest knocking you could imagine, no oil pressure on gauge and oil warning light stayed on, switched it straight off.
Have i completely knackered my engine, going for a beer now to drown my sorrows!!!!!
Regards Steve
