Engine Mechanical problem
1997 Ford Mustang 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 99000 miles

I have a 6 cyl. mustang and the night before it was just fine and when I started it in the morning the top end of the motor seems like it is not getting oil, the lifters are real loud and the top engine is real loud, I took the oil pressure sending unit off and pressure checked the lower part of the motor and it seems to be fine, What would cause me to get no oil to the top of the motor but yet the bottom of the motor is just fine????

Hi there,

You may have a blockage in the oil gallery to the head, i would flush the engine oil using a good quality engine flush, it may be some carbon or sludge and this may wash it away, start here.
