Loud Clattering Noise / Low Oil Pressure at Idle on '87 944S
Well, this is what it says on the tin - I came home the other night and heard a clattering noise from my 1987 944S that sounds like it's under the valve cover. The oil pressure gauge was really low, 1 to 2. I checked the oil and while it was below the bottom fill line, there was oil just beneath the line. I filled it with oil, started it up and it seemed to sound a little better for a few moments but then the noise came back. The noise seems to fade and the oil pressure goes up as I increase the engine revs.
Anyone have any thought? It kind of sounds like not enough oil is getting to the top end of the motor at lower and idle rev speeds. Thoughts?
