yes the oil pressure goes up to 3 when accelarting but stays at 1.5 at idle, belt tensinor is ok, as i accelarate the clapping sound speed up untill 2000 rpm then it fades... after all this engine was a swap engine that was sitting in a warehouse for some time i think i need to purge it, do you reccomend purging a OM603 that has a cataylic converter???
