Can a timing chain be worn out by low oil pressure?
Can a timing chain be worn out by low oil pressure?
While you were in there you really should have considered the main bearings and no, the timing chain has nothing to do with low oil pressure although lax oil changes, running the oil level low, and so on can wear he chain out. George_San_Jose1June 9, 2018, 2:20am #8
What causes a stretch in the timing chain?
Timing Chain Stretch: It Is The Oil’s Fault! Timing chain stretch is not the stretching of the timing chain, it is an elongation of the timing chain caused by wear to the chain’s components. The most common cause of timing chain stretch is lack of maintenance and regular oil changes.
What causes low pressure in the oil pump?
Other causes of low pressure could be the oil pressure relief valve, oil pump, bad oil filter. VDCdriverJune 8, 2018, 8:42pm #6 tom418:
What are the holes in an oil pump?
As long as those holes aren’t too large, the oil pump can still maintain proper pressure in the hose. But if the holes get too big, too much oil leaks out, and the pump can no longer maintain enough pressure. The “holes” in this analogy are the bearing clearances, w/the biggest “holes” occurring in the crankshaft bearings.

Where is the oil pump located on a Chrysler 3.3L?
A noisy oil pump can be changed by removing the oil pan, but first you have to remove a brace and dust cover from the transaxle. Although the oil pan has to be removed to change the pump, the pump is actually located inside the front timing cover. Removing the oil pan will allow you to change the front timing cover.
