sadly, no penrite oil here in the philippines..

thank you so much... :)

i see. thank you so much for your inputs. i deeply appreciate it.
now i know the right procedure and how to clean the rocker shaft assembly.

right now the engines really noisy even when driving it 35minutes to work under the hot sun.

i'm really glad i joined this club because here in the Philippines there is no clubs or groups like this.
even the parts here are very rare, the guy at the auto supply told me that i have to wait one week
before i can get the distributor rotor and rotor cap cause they don't have it on stock.

anyway, sir would you recommend the castrol magnatec 10w 40 for the a12?
before i'm using castrol gtx 20w 50.

thank you so much!

i mean the oil on top of the head going down the tappets on the first cylinder (intake and exhaust) is very little.

the last time i change the oil, oil filter. i did cut open the oil filter and it has plenty of sludge.

is that a sign that something is wrong?

i see. this weekend were going to change the oil. do tune-up as well as removing the oil sump and clean it

just to make sure nothing is blocking the oil screen filter. the rocker arm.. well i certainly don't know

how to clean it cause this is the first time we'll going to disassemble it.

please shed your knowledge about this. thank you!

we also notice that the oil light in the dash comes off after ten seconds.
could it be that the oil filter in the oil sump is blocked with oil sludge or something like that.

actually today we've tried to remove the rocker cover and observe how the oil behave.
on engine start the oil quickly goes to the tappets on the fourth, third and partially on the second cylinder
then in the first cylinder we notice that the drop of oil is very little.
so i think the oil is having difficulty going to the first cylinder .

hello there. what would be the problem if the intake and exhaust in the first cylinder do not get enough oil while the rest are fine. the engine is very noisy when i start it in the morning and it takes time for it to idle.
this is my dilemma for a long time. i already rebuilt the oil pump but the problem still there. even when i change the oil last month.
i'm thinking maybe this weekend to remove the rocker arm and clean it but i don't know how to
disassemble it.

any information about this would be very helpful.

thank you..

i will also check that one cause lately when i switch to park light or signal light the dashboard light becomes slightly dimmer. other times when i start the engine both gauges start to rise then goes down again as the engine idles.
