Check the oil pressure to make sure that the oil pump is working-oil pressure okay could mean a clogged oil galleries

The last post says oil pump is on the front cover? Is it in the front cover or under it. MY QUESTION IS. IS THERE ACCESS WITHOUT REMOVING FRONT COVER? WHERE CAN I FIND A DIAGRAM?

There's no access to it you have to remove the front timing cover to get to it-

Dunno what you're up to, your problem is you don't have oil in the valve train -but sure seems to be demanding for answers maybe a little cooperation might get you somewhere-Bye
