well i'm driving down us1 and my car stalls and wouldn't start back up so i pull off and it sounds like i have a dead battery. real slow turning so i wait a few seconds and it starts. i'm driving home to check **** out and the low oil light flashes really quick then oil pressure surges around abit then droppes to zero. i immediately shut the car off and pull over. I check the dipstick and theres no oil on it. i check under the car and no drips or nothing. So i get some oil and fill it to till it's good on the dipstick. try starting the car and no pressure so i let it run about 5 seconds to see if it builds and i shut it down.

WTF i just did the full head and cam package long tubes and everything. i don't have money to be replacing bearrings and stuff. i'm hoping it didn't hurt the bearings and all that happened was the pump failed.

Help me

TIA
MIKE

Did you mess with the oil pump at all?
If so, you prpbably messed up the infamous o-ring of death! If it was only a brief moment of no oil pressure, you could be ok. Good luck.

Or your oil pump took a dirt nap.

Which if it did, it can ruin the bearings and score the crank rather quickly; I speak from experience. Good luck, seriously.
