So, I'm pretty sure the motor is gone. After messing around with it for a while, doing so much research and checking everything, I give up.
The oil light is now on all the time, the motor starts and runs but chatters, ticks and clicks at the top, like the oil it not getting up there at all. I think at this point maybe there is no oil pressure due to main bearings and thus there is no oil at the top.
Any thoughts from anyone before i go hunting for another motor? Also, any suggestions on places to find another motor with around 70k miles and reasonable price? I keep seeing motors on Ebay with 150k miles for $1800 are these people smoking something good to set the price that high? I can drive as far as south PA to pickup a good motor and thinking of putting it myself.
Lastly, any advise on removing/installing motor? Any videos, diagrams or write ups appreciated.
