Serious question? Is this just cosmetic damage or a serious problem?

Does the shop really have to replace a whole camshaft if only one lobe is bad? I’m kind of a mechanic and I have seen a camshaft before, this seems like they are trying to upsell me.

Is this a sign of scared or shy behaviour? I think the previous owner might have been abusive

I don’t get it? I can’t see the leak. Should I ask them to plug it?

Oil pressure delay

1 Upvotes

I did a wet-belt-to-chain conversion on my 2012 Ford Transit Connect (1.8 TDCi lynx engine) and ever since the oil pressure light takes 3–5 seconds to go out on a cold start. I’ve changed the oil filter, oil pump, pressure switch and cleaned the pickup strainer, but it’s still happening.

It otherwise seems to run fine. Hot oil pressure at idle is over 1 bar and over 3 bar at 2000rpm.

Is this delay in oil pressure normal for my engine? Am I damaging the engine?

Would really appreciate any thoughts on this. Thanks.
