I have a 96 Galant with a 4g63 swap(i hardly ever drive this car)! I built the motor myself and have never had any problems out of the car... Recently i took my Garrett T66 turbo off for a rebuild and installed my back up 16g.. I noticed after 3 weeks with the 16g that the turbo would sometime hesitate to spool and loud lifter tick(ordered 3g lifters)!! Then one day on my 5 mile trip to work my turbo just stop working, i took the turbo off the next day and the shaft completely in half. Since then ive installed a 14b and to try to fix the problem, I loosened the oil feed line from the head while the car was running (no oil coming out at all) then i took off the VC and started the car no oil came out anywhere!!
Ive also taken out the Pressure Relief Valve cause i thought it was stuck open(nothing),no whinning coming from the motor anywhere,timing belt moving just fine,and car idles great!! Honestly i use the stock oil pressure sensor to monitor pressure and it works fine(my oil light hasnt flashed)I installed a new OEM oil pump and OEM front cover with balance shafts deleted..
Any ideas on what could be wrong?
