I recently rolled my 1982 subaru brat onto its side. I let it sit for 2 hours before starting. Started and idled fine, no wierd engine noise. Started driving an lost oil pressure because I assume it leaked out when on its side. Filled it back up with oil. Started it back up and the oil pressure returned. 1-2 minutes down the road I lost oil pressure the engine started making a slight "ticking" noise, so I shut it down again. Checked the oil level and it was full. Had to drive it home about 1 minute away, and by the time I got home, I had lost oil pressure again and the engine started making a slight "ticking" noise again, this time noticably louder. Let sit for 3 days and tried starting it up again. My oil level still full so I started it again and the ticking noise was much worse and still rythmic. I do not know much about engines. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks, corey

been as it was on its side the oil pump might need to be reprimed they can be hard to get it to pick up the oil without priming but i would say the worst case would be bad main bearings or bad oil pump all thow its very not common that the pump it self would be bad try repriming the pump first
