S13 SR20DET Weird Noises - Lifters/ Bearing/ Rods? **VIDEO**

clogged port, or misaligned cam cap. Idk why its squirting from there though with the cap on, maybe the bolt is stripped and not torqued properly. Take the last cap off on both sides there a little hole, snake something through it or blow it out with compressed air. if the bolts are stripped you do have options!

Good point. I will check tomorrow in the day.
When you say clogged port, the port (hole) underneath the cam cap or ports on the tube?
Also to note, I noticed when it was running their was a small chirp/squeak sound like a loose belt however it was not, I'm beginning to think it could of been because of the cams being dry.

Here is a rear shot so you can see where the oil is coming from better.

Now a friend keeps suggesting the weird sound could be timing chain related, Before I dive into that are we determining this is most likely an oil problem for sure? Can someone clarify for me that indeed the oil not squirting is for sure an issue.. I was under impression oil should squirt out of the holes on the tube for sure when priming.
