oil pump ?
Hello-
Welcome to Ford Truck Enthusiasts! The Internet's leading Ford TRUCK and SUV Resource!
First off we need information to help you. Whenever you post give the details on your vehicle. We need to know the engine type so we can visualize where your problem might be. Without that info we are guessing.
Otherwise...
-Did a bunch of gasket scrapings or gasket sealer ooze get into the pan and plug up your oil pickup screen?
-Does the timing belt/chain run your oil pump?
tell us more.

oil pump ?
thanks to Torque1st for the info on posting. The F150 in question is a 97 w/ 4.2L 6 cyl. I know that there was a recall on these vehicles for problems with the gaskets. The only problem I was having before having the timing belt gasket replaced was losing coolant. Now after driving for 5-6 miles I lose oil pressure and the engine starts knocking. The mechanic that replaced it now thinks the main bearing may be going out. Does this sound right?
