Jeep: no oil pressure, main bearings, jeep cherokee
QuestionI have a 93 jeep cherokee with a 2.5 engine. It runs good but as soon as the engine warms up, it goes down to zero oil pressure. this is on a guage that we installed-- the kind where the oil runs up the tube. we have changed the rod and main bearings and they meet plasitiguage specs. do you have any suggestions?
AnswerOil pressure is created by close tolerances between engine components and there are lots more than rod and mail bearings. My guess is that your engine needs a rebuild by boring, new pistons, new camshaft and bearings, grind the crankshaft with new bearings, and a new oil pump.
