Troubleshooting an 420a engine rebuild I've finished recently-
Oil light is on and I'm hearing some tapping in the head. I've got plenty of oil and used an pressure tester to find it will initially idle at 12psi and slowly drop to 5 over a couple of minutes.
My plan of action is check in the head for any loose bolts and take off the oil pan to do the same-ensure I don't have a physical leak. I didn't replace the oil pump at the time of rebuild, as it is actually pretty new still. But I may still go ahead and replace anyway, but any other pointers on what else I should investigate?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
