Re: Oil spraying everywhere!!!!
you would be surprised how far an engine wil run
without oil. I knew a friend who had a vr6 come in in
august. the kid hit a stump camping after prom night
(may) he had been driving it with a damaged oil pum
all summer. just started rapping in august. dropped
the pan installed new oil pump give it a good run and
wulla a drivable vr6 again. I wouldn't say it was the
same as it ever was but it did run decent

you're insane, it
could be that, the oil coorer, or more common one of
the sensors on top
of the flange. Another list member just went
through this, you must
not have read that one. Put some oil in, start
it and see where it
comes from. Good luck<br>
