I have been struggling with many problems with my car since my timing belt broke in my drive way. I found the problem of the broken timing belt to be a hard to turn oil pump sprocket. This is all new to me and I'm just trying to get direction on what to do next. By the way the oil pump sprocket almost turns completely around but it sticks in one area, I have looked to see if it catches on the front case but it does not. My question is could it be that its sat so long that its lost all lubrication making it so it doesn't turn very well (I have cleaned the sprocket/pulley) and this made it turn much better but it still sticks in one spot. Should I drop the oil pan? and take a gander around. Any helpful advice would be awesome If you'd rather come by an take a look message me and you can come by. Thank you in advance.
