I just bought this car and was told it needed a harmonic balancer. When I got it home, I charged the battery and she fired right up. No vibration or shaking in motor however, the low oil light came on and went off but I had no oil pressure. I immediately turned it off and changed the oil with a new filter. When I cranked her back up same thing -there is a ticking noise so I cut her off immediately. What can be the cause of this ticking noise and no oil pressure?
