Alright, I have searched and searched for info on this problem but i cant find anything. I have a 90 esi fwd 5 spd. There is about 120,000km on the car and motor, and the head gasket has been replaced as well as water pump, and timing belts. The car origionally died about 3 months ago. I have had alot of problems getting it running again since the machine shop screwed over two cylinder heads. But now all thats fixed and the car was working great! I drove it for 4 days without a single problem. Then all of a sudden it started running like shit...no power and really hot. I figured it was the head gasket again, but it wasnt. turns out im not getting any oil to the cylinder head. The car will start fine, but normally when the car is running there is oil being squirted everywhere. all ove the cams and such. So obviously i have an oil problem. I tried the obvious things, changing the oil, and filter, and then i put a new oil pump in, as well as made sure everything else was in working order in the bottom half of the motor. My oil pressure guage is showing pressure, so it leads me to believe there is something blocked somewhere. I have searched everywhere and put posts up before, and iv only ever had a couple replys. I can do all the work myself and am getting very sick of this problem. I have talked to 4 other mechanics and noone knows whats goin on. This exact same thing happened to my first talon and now it has happened to this one. My other good tsi awd talon is still working great so im praying this doesnt happen to that car too. If anyone has ideas about why my car has no oil getting to the cylinder head it would be awesome. Im looking for a used motor for the car too. I need to get this fixed soon cause im trying to sell the car!
Thanks Tony!

what do you mean when normally there is oil squirting all over so that means you have a problem. there is supposed to be oil squirting onto the parts in the head.
