Prox's thread makes me fess up to my poor 280zx's engine problems. It's stock as far as I know, I've only had it 3yrs. now, wow that long. All of a sudden I started have low oil pressure. The read light on the gage was on at idle and up until about 4k rpms. I got a trusty Harbor freight oil pressure gage and got that adapted and it was reading about 10 psi@ idle and would not increase even at 3k rpms. I didn't want to push it farther with such low oil pressure. After replacing the oil pump, and getting the timing figured out, I now get a loud ticking from the bottom of the engine. Quite loud with the stick on the oil pump. I haven't gotten the stick on the block per say, the car is fully equipted and on ramps, not to much room under there.
Any Ideas?
thanks
