Bad main bearing cause low oil pressure. A engine can have a bad rod and still have good pressure. If it is a bad rod bearing either replace the rod or have it sized to make sure the big end is total

Did you check the compression to eliminate a broken piston or ring? What about a worn cam lobe? Peter Schauss 1963 BJ7 1980 MGB _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.net

Many thanks for the responses. The engine runs, there is compression in each cylinder and the car can be driven. I have decided that to really ascertain what's wrong, the engine has to be removed an

My guesses? If it's a click, not a rumbling noise, and you have oil pressure and it still drives, then I'd guess a worn out little end and/ or a worn out cam lobe and follower. Best Chris Sent from m

Listen to the noise, and you might be able to narrow it down a bit. If the noise is constant at 1/2 engine speed, think rod bearings, they only knock on the firing stroke If the noise is constant at
