Tappet Camshafts
what causes low oil pressure and knocking sound on a Nissan RD28 turbo engine?
The engine is a turbo charged over-head cam with hydraulic tappets. I changed two exhaust valves and the camshaft after a timing failure. After that there is a knocking sound and the car has no power. The turbine thing in the turbo charger doesn't rotate either way. the engine doesn't rev up more than 2400rpm and it also overheats easily. what causes these things?
Dear Nissan-
I hate to be the one to break this to you, and its news that you are not going to want to hear.
The reason the turbo will not spin is because the bearings in the turbo have cooked and seized the turbo charger. This may have happened due to the low oil pressure. Ths indicates to me that the Oil Pump has failed or a critical seal in the system has failed.
As for the knocking sound, I will also wager that you may have spun an engine bearing in the process.
Automotive 101:
Turbo Chargers are operated by the hot exhaust gasses exiting the engine. These gasses flow by the turbine vanes which is connected via a shaft to the compressor vanes that create the boost for the Turbo Charger.
Since the timing failure due to a Timing Belt snapping or the belt cogs being stripped off, (if equipped) the engine jumped time and the valves smacked the top of the piston. The same will happen if a timing chain jumps time due to a sproket failure, chain failure, or tensioner failure. This destructive energy is passed through the connecting rod and directly to the crankshaft where the bearing was probably damaged, and it has probably spun in the journal cradle and wiped out the journal on the crank.
In the process you have also probably cracked the cylinder head too, and this is part of the reason for the overheating, but that can be due to the fact the Turbo Charger is now trash.
You are now looking at a major bill to return the car to operating condition.
I can tell you from experince that Turbo Chargers require a delecate hand, and knowledge of how to care for them. Frequent oil changes are their friend, (Every 3000 miles without exception).
Turbo Chargers also require a stabilazation time after driving before engine shut down too. The harder the Turbo Charger has been working, the longer it will need to cool down before the engine can be turned off. 5 to 8 minutes of engine idle time may be required. This prevents the oil from cokeing in the bearings in the Turbo Charger.
This is why when you see small aircraft come in at the airport, they pilots will leave the engines running for 5 minutes or more before they shut the engine down. They are allowing the turbo chargers to cool before they return to ambient temprature.
Diesel trucks, trains, construction equipment all follow the same procedure for shut-down to allow the turbos to cool off.
In your case, I would say this is also true, compunded by the timing failure, you are now looking at a very expensive repair. more than likely its going to cost you more than the car is worth.
Nissan like Toyota subcontracts for their Turbo Chargers, to another company. I think theirs are made my Mitsubishi. Just the Turbo Charger alone is going to cost you from $1200.00 to $2000.00+ depending on the type of Turbo it is, and you have not even got to the engine repairs yet, which is going to be near $3000.00+ just to get started, if the block can be saved. If not just keep adding the numbers until they hit about $8000.00.
This is one reason I do not build imports once they have been destroyed. The parts replacement costs are too prohibitive.
I always hate bad news like this, because I enjoy building custom cars regardless of the brand name.
Here is my point.
My brother owns a 1990 Honda Prelude 2.5L DOHC SI Special Edition, (Grey Market Import). Because of the rarety and the fact this particular configuration was only available in Japan, it cost us $21,950 to customize and Rod this vehicle. All of the parts had to come from overseas, and Spoon Engines was the only people willing to do the re-manufacturing work for us.
Was it worth it? Yes! But that is because the intrinsic value of the car outweighs the Blue Book. My brother has had offers up to $50K for this car. Its not for sale. With a 276 Hp 4 cylinder DOHC Engine, you can understand why.
Sorry fo the news! I hope you can get it repaired, but if not I am sorry anyway! Good Luck!

My 383 Silverado motor swap
Hey Jeepers, Do you know about ZDDP?
Anyone with a 4.0 motor needs to read this!! The flat tappet camshaft on a 4.0 requires ZDDP (zinc) for wear protection and nearly ALL oil companies have removed Zinc from their oil because newer cars have roller cams and zinc was causing premature cat failure. Many Jeepers including myself have been running Rotella T 15w 40. It's cheap and has the 1100ppm ZDDP that our beloved straight sixes need. There are a few other Oils out there that have Zinc and also some additives but the Rotella seems to be the cheapest. Just thought I would share this so we can keep our jeeps running strong!!!!
interesting info thanks! I have the Inline 6 in my 87 Yj, so i'll keep this in mind!
