Hi Guys,
I have a 1989 XJ with a 2.5L 4cyl.. During regular driving it has no problems, but when getting up to a higher speed the oil light comes on and I get valve knock, lack of oil I would assume. My question is: would I be correct in thinking that this motor has a clogged oil pump pick-up or could it be the pump itself? The motor has 150,000 miles on it and no sign of a low end knock (knock on wood). Any help would be great. Also I see that some people say that this engine has the same bolt pattern as the small block mopar engines, is this true? Thanks again,
Simon
