Allen,

You can always setup an appointment to bring it to us to check it out. I can tell for certain once We can hear, see, and hook it up to the computer.

the sound is most likely the VTC gears based on what you are describing. this won't hurt the motor, but the sound will get louder over time. This is a VERY common part to fail now that these cars are no less than 15 years old.

Coolant, when was the last time it was changed? When was the last time the Timing Belt service was done? It should be flushed on a scheduled basis.

These cars are not easy to figure out, but we are here to help.

i just had almost the same issue a few months ago minus the lack of oil pressure. mine turned out to be spun bearings.. yours sounds like it could be lifter valves due to lack of oil pressure if your pump cant get oil up to the valves they will stick. so you might still have a good motor just gotta find out why and where your losing pressure . best of luck
