I have a 95 deville and its not getting oil to the top of the engine?

would that be the oil pump or the camshaft bearings? how could i tell? i noticed that the camshaft pully wasnt straight while the engine was running it looked as if it was shuttering, i had my oil changed yesterday and today it wont start. i would hate to replace the pump if thats not the problem.I have a 95 deville and its not getting oil to the top of the engine?
Probably more like the crank bearings if your pressure is so low nothing is getting to the top. And if the cam bearings are that bad, the engine is shot. It's probably way to worn out to start pumping money into repairing individual items.I have a 95 deville and its not getting oil to the top of the engine?
they had problems with the cam bearings on that motor.I have a 95 deville and its not getting oil to the top of the engine?
How do you know this? As to see you would have to pull valve covers. What is oil pressure? If engine is not starting is at least turning over? Just need to run a few tests. Best have a mechanic run some checks and make an estimate as what is needed.
