1987 Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo This is my $200 dollar special! I bought it after it had sat 6 months and the owner claimed that "The oil light came on and started making noise". The also claimed that the tranny had been rebuilt 2 wks prior to the engine making noise. So, we hauled it with the Heavy Chevy home to the CBT garage. I suspected a bad oil pump or a bad pickup tube, or the pickup would be clogged. NOPE! Someone along in this car's life put a timing chain in. If you know these engines (3.8 buick) you'll know that some of them had a plastic/aluminum timing chain to cut down on noise. Well, it went. The brainiac that replaced it didn't clean the remains from the oil pan. Well, long story short, a small piece or timing gear was jamming the oil pressure reliefe valve wide open!, A gasket set later + oil change and a new belt, It ran with good oil pressure and no noises! :-) Here's the final product....
