I just got my 2000 TJ 2.5l out of the shop. I had them install a new head with new valves and springs pre-installed. New lifters, pushrods and rocker arms. Since it was a blown head gasket that prompted this, they dropped the pan and changed the oil pump as well (lots of water in the oil). After I got it back from the shop about 2 miles down the road a loud tick started (see video for example). I pulled the valve cover and it looks like no oil is making it to the top end.
I suspect a faulty oil pump, or the tech installed it incorrectly (the guy said he has his 'cousin' working on my jeep). His shop is full of newer jeeps, so it's possible with an old betty like mine he put one of his less experienced techs on the rebuild.
As a conversation piece, what would you do in this situation? What do you think might be the problem?
