I bought a 94 Celica as a bit of a project to learn about cars. With the help of my friend who has recently qualified as a Volkswagen tech we have removed the gunk that remained of the old timing belt and installed the new one several times. The engine still seems to knock at the top end. The few times the car has been running the car runs for about 20 minutes but underpowered and then it cuts out. It always seems to start again with a jump so in not too worried about that but last time it died the oil light came on despite the car having the appropriate oil levels and running cleaner through the engine. Removing the rocker cover has not revealed any blockages and as the title says in in a little over my head as to why this engine sounds like it is getting no oil. Everytime ii seem to try something it didn't seem to work so i was wondering if there was any Toyota pros out there around Parramatta area that might be able to take a look for me one day before i have to buy a whole new engine :/
