This morning I start my 86 toyota pickup and a loud noise comes from the motor. It sounds like the upper part of the motor with the valves, springs, and push rods vibrating terribly. I quickly shut the motor off and looked under the hood. I saw nothing strange. Checked the oil, looked fine. I started it again and went under the hood to see if anything was identifiable. That is when I noticed that it was the top of the motor.
I am thinking that the oil pump is bad. If it is, does anyone know if I may have damaged some bearings? How can I check the oil pump without starting the motor?
Any help would be great.
