1996 Buick Regal Repair Question
Mileage: 175,600 miles.
I am looking for oil diagrams for a 3800 series II
Answer
what kind of oil diagram. what is your issue
Roy
Hi Roy.
Still having lifter issues! I think I have a blockage!
tell me the background. did you check the oil pressure manually?? what was the pressure??
if all is checked and good and no oil to lifters, you may have a bad or spun cam bearing not allowing oil to the top
Roy
Engine rebuilt about 4000 miles ago then lifters al of the sudden started chattering and I found 5 of the six on the odd side of the engine collapsed so I changed all of the lifters now they do not chatter as bad!
is there oil getting to the top of the motor??
Roy
I just pulled the even side and ran the engine I'm not getting oil up the pushrods!
I found fragments of what looks like RTV gasket sealer on the rocker arms! what i found was very small
I miss typed the odd side 1,3,5 are not getting oil to the rocker arms and the even side along the fire wall 2,4,6 has plenty of oil! also all the rocker arms on the odd side can be pushed towards the lifters and the even side an not!!
i think we discussed this before. either a cam bearing is installed wrong or too much rtv was used and has clogged the galley in the block
