b18 oil pump problem
k guys a bit of a weird one here
have a civic running a b18 jdm type r any way about a month after the engine was put in the oil light started to come on at low idle then go away when you rev a little then it started to say one in the end the oil pump failed and bearings went
then i got another bottom end and used my old head about a week later same thing happend . the light came on so i got a new b18 head before damage was done thinkin it might be the cause but nothing still the same .
then i sent the engine off to be rebuilt and got i back having been completely cleaned inside out then 2 weeks later same thing only just 5 mins after the oil light flashed the oil pump let go and leaked out the oil .
so it went back to the builder and he checked every thing cleaned it out and kept the car for over a week and ran it in .
all seemed grand untill today 1 weeks after i got the car back the light is back on
does any body have an idea what the problem could be the only parts off the original engine is the intake and rocker cover
