Do you guys have any good Exploded diagrams for the 1jz and diagrams of how the 1jz oil system works i want to print them out for the machine shop and do whatever i can to help
Yes i've looked at the ones in the stickies but just curious if some of you know better sources
Not 100% sure but he said he thinks its along the lines of a Folded o ring or pin or plug problem said somethings simple that he would know when he pulls off the pump in the morning.
He said that he doesn't think it's the oil pump it self
ok so went to the shop and at the moment there not sure why it has no oil pressure.
They pumped oil through the system and it still is not building pressure on it's own.
When i pulled up they had the car inside
After talking with them they think it's something simple.
He had it taken...
The car was dropped off at the machine shop on Saturday they are supposed to fix it and give me a call.
I just got off work so i'm gonna swing by there today.
I know but i didn't know how to make it look lower without cutting the springs :)
Have you not scene the build thread ?

The motor is warrantied by him so if it breaks they'll...
Definitely Andy he told me he'd make sure it was building oil pressure for me.
But ill double check of course.
Another friend told me that all I need to do is pull the crank pully off and put a drill on the oil pump gear to get it spinning fast enough to prime the system
So just left the machine shop.
The owner (Larry) told me if the car is all put together just to have it towed down to the machine shop and they would take care of it. He said he has a pump that he made that will hook up to the oil pressure line and pump oil through the system.
