[jminimadman]

hi guys looking for some help here badly

my 1998 2.3 gal has been running great until i went out today turned the key and heard some realy not good noises {sounded like bearings siezing up}

when the noise stopped it sounded like a diesel and the oil warning light is on

ive read most of the posts in the tech part but nothing to decribe whats happend lol

is it the oil pump or pressure sping or tensioner????????

any advive would be great

right found out the problem but not the cause

all 3 tensionors have shatterd the oil pump cog sheared of the lug and the teeth on the crank cog have all rounded off

so now i need to find out what caused it and also

if i can get the parts i need cheap enough so if anyone has any good dealers let me know cheers
