It could be caused by low oil pressure. A worn oil pump can cause the oil pressure to drop.

well unfortunitly the only thing you can do at this point is tear the bottom end apart and measure/inspect bearings. if one of those is letting too much oil by then you wont get pressure to the head. or you could also throw an oil pump at it however i dont think that type of oil pump can really go bad lol. if the motor was in running condition that would be one thing. and be concerned the motors cooked cuz who knows how long it was run without pressure... and this is all based off of the fact that we belive said machanic. and guess work.

PART #12637040. Thats the cover, includes pump. I bet the gear is gone on it but it is not available from GM, you have to buy the cover to get the pump! Thats up here though, maybe different State side????

EDIT** Just did a quick check and we have NEVER sold one of those pumps! Looks like bottom end is comming off bud.

first thing is he has an angine thats out of the car with major machanical problems. Needs to find a way to set the engine up so he can crank it over.but ur on the right track. u could remove the filter and crank it over. It should be very messy but it would tell u if u have pressure up to that point. Then get ur hands on a machan ical pressure guage that will screw onto the ffilter boss and see how much pressure u have. UNFORTUNITLY u need to have the engine running for proper pressure test

my motor blew about 2 months ago, the connecting rod got thrown through the side of the block. my mechanic is saying that i ran it out of oil but there is still alot left. plus the fact that i went to the shop about a week later and it started and ran. i just dont get how it happend, i mean i did drive the car a little rough but i always kept the oil clean and maintained the car.

ok so update on my car, bought a motor with 130,771 miles out of a 1997 Grand Am for $200 the guy we got the car from said that it has a leaking head gasket but after pulling the engine and trans from the car i looked it over and there are no signs of a leak of any kind on it just poor cleaning, so what im going to do is swap my head for the one on the engine now but its gonna get checked over by the local engine shop (D&R Engines) who have built some really nice stuff then it will be reassembly and back in to my Alero then it will be the task of registering it again after 3 years of sitting, ik i'm going to have to drop my tank and all that cause there was a half a tank of fuel in it when it seized up but i can get another tank for about $200 to my shop so the time consuming process begins as as i can get her here to the shop and dismantled times gonna be easy but the money isn't gonna come as easy.... and if anyone has tips or tricks feel free to let me know hope this all goes smoothly and there aren't too many road blocks

I would assume that it was a coincidence.
