They aren't necessary and cause more harm than good. In addition to what's been said, I'd just remove them once you've got the valve cover off, regardless.
There are 2 of them for the upper timing chain, one on top one on the side.
Per TSB I don't even install them when I do rebuilds.
>Here's a good in-depth article for removing them.< Not saying 100% this is your only problem, as said before you should check your oil for debris.
Yes, there is a way to actually test the oil pressure. In the FSM (Factory Service Manual)

Grab one for yourself. They're mighty handy to have, and free. |
Thank you, man! I do have a service manual, used it for all my electrical work on the 240, awesome thing to have by your side. I?m not that familiar with working on internals, so your info is much appreciated.
