944s broken valve spring

[allen2145]

I got spring replaced and got it back together and now the top end of the engine is not getting oil. Any help would be appreciated.

OPRV oil pressure relief valve, if its a S it would have one in the head as well near the oil pressure sensor. Or loose crank pulley. Did the oil stop, causing the valve to break? Maybe something fell in the block.

It is an S . it was oiling when I took it down I am just learning to repair this car with help from the people on Pelican. both springs had no pieces missing

You can remove the lower and upper OPRV, and clean them out. The retainer screw for the upper one is on the side of the head. You have to remove the head cover, but that's all. When I removed mine, the allen head screw was slightly stripped, so I cleaned it out with brake cleaner, and pb welded the allen head driver to it, waited a few hours and then backed the screw out. You can separate the lower OPRV and clean it, and you can pump both of them. Put the top one back on, re-assemble the head cover, get a friend and a rag, dis connect the coil, turn the engine over once or twice, oil should squirt out of the opening where the OPRV goes, if not then the pump is not pumping.
