Engine Mechanical problem
1991 Acura Integra 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 200k miles
I've been working on my Acura for a while and final got everything put back together and fix after changing the head gasket. Will I was changing the headgasket, rain for sure got in the oil system. I drained it , changed it, and changed it again. Just worring about water never think about possible debris. After sitting for month being worked on and bringging it back to life. I was driving and it started making a knocking noise I pulled over thinking somehow there was no oil there was. Got home... listened, inspected, and came to when I saw. Oil squirting on the camshafts for a bit then stopping then and the knocking noise started shortly after the oil stop coming out of little holes on the "u clamps?" that bolt the camshaft to the head. I don't know if it needs flushing or if it's even fixable. I'm almost at the point of wantinig to by a new engine but I have almost already replace all the parts when I change the head and head gasket. Any information would be useful at this point. thank you.
