Anyone help me please?
Got "K" reg last of the Nova's.
Valves/camshaft rattling like mad - no oil getting up there.
There was much water in the sump raising the oli level high.
Cleared all, replacing oil, water and head gasket.
Engine runs well.....with this tremendous rattle.... and still no oil at camshaft! Oil warning light goes out and stays out for several seconds after engine switch off suggesting oli pressure ok?
Any ideas please? Thanks in advance.
