Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / October 200895 Nissan oil light on
I have a 95 nissan with the 2400 4 cly engine. I got the truck and the guides on the timing chain were shot, I replaced the timing set, replaced the oil pump because of all the crap in the pan. I used carb cleaner in all the oil passages I could get to to clean them out, got everything back together and the truck will start and run fine but the oil light will come and go, no certain rpm or speed just comes and goes, it also has valve clatter even if the oil light is not on. I pulled the rocker assemblies and cleaned everything. All looks good but still get a frequent oil light and valve clatter. I also ran the engine with motor flush twice (its on its 3rd oil change with only 20 miles) Any ideas? how many miles on this engine? sounds like oil is not getting to the rockers.

Thanks for the reply. 141200. I put carb cleaner down the oil holes in the head, soaked the rocker shafts overnight, cleaned the oil holes in the rockers. At this point i'm kinda lost. I have changed several of these and never had a problem, at first i thought maybe I didn't get the pump primed good, I took it back off and sat it in a pan of oil and ran it for a minute or more after I poured it full. Also i'm running castrol 10w30 Donny did you use new oil passage seals when reinstalling the timing cover after replacing the chain? >I have a 95 nissan with the 2400 4 cly engine.

Yes. is/ are there and dents in the oil pan that will impede the flow of oil into the pump from the pick up.

Oil pan is straight Ok...made a little progress. I figured since a new oil sensor only cost 6 bucks, it was worth a try. Took care of the oil light but I still have the noisy rockers, I don't mean a little noisy either :) I pulled the rockers back off for the second time and had more junk in the oil passages. I'm thinking i'll have to keep doing this untill all the garbage is gone. Used flush on it twice now, 2 times on cleaning the oil passages on the rockers. I just got the truck a short time ago because the timing chain needed replacing so I don't really know how long it was drove eating up the guides, I do know it did'nt have much of the guides left. The lady that had it will drive vehicles till they die and then they set, I bought it as a fixer upper for my 16 year old. I only got $650 in it at this point (truck and new parts) so still in good shape cause I figured on a thousand. Keep the suggestions coming because i'm not that familiar with Nissans and need all the help I can get Donny |
