oil pressure vn 2000 - 2008

[sfair]

No valve train clatter?

What made you check the oil pressure?

Do you have some actual readings? What were they?

No, but it is in the service manual:

Oil Pressure Measurement
Oil Pressure @2 000 r/min (rpm), Oil Temperature 90°C (194°F)

127 ∼ 167 kPa (1.3 ∼ 1.7 kgf/cm², 18 ∼ 24 psi)

If the oil pressure is much lower than the standard, check the oil pump, oil pressure relief valve, and/or crankshaft bearing wear and con-rod big end bearing insert wear immediately.

If the reading is much higher than the standard, check the oil screen first, and the oil passages for dirt or clogging. Also, replace the oil filter.

Its very simple . If there is oil on your air filter, you are overfilling the oil.
If your camshafts are wearing out , they are not getting oil. BAD.
Why is your rod bearing NOT wearing out?
You need to make darn sure those oil passages are open or you'll be right back in the shop.

It seems to me that labor should be there exspence as well if the cam wore out due to a hardening error. Thats a defective part, right? Be he same thing if your cooling fan ddnt work because of a improoperly install bearing in the fan motor when assembled I would think.

Assuming, for sake of discussion, that it's out of warranty being a 2008, getting parts only isn't too bad a deal, considering they're not obligated to do anything at all past warranty.

Start with the easiest thing first, when you get the engine all back together put a brand-new oil filter on it and run the engine and test oil pressure.

If that does not fix it then you have a problem somewhere that's clogging an oil passage beyond the pressure regulator.
