Hi there lads,
A question that might be more geared towards my neighbours across the drink in 'Straya:
My Father in law is looking at buying another Marina to go with his TC Coupe. The car in question is a mid 70s Saloon with the 2.6L inline 6 version of the E-series engine.
Apparently the car has low oil pressure and my FIL thinks it might be due to something being amiss in the head.
What are the known causes of oil pressure issues on the E-series engine and possible remedies? (could be oil pump etc?)
Now there isn't a lot of information on the net regarding the 2.6L version of the engine, but going by what I have researched, it sounds like the engine is the same as the 2.2L version found in our 'crabs, but has a longer stroke, so I'm assuming that the heads etc are the same between the two.
Any advice/clues would be greatly appreciated!

PS There was a clip out of a period newspaper I found online last month regarding the car, but in my infinite wisdom I lost the link, i'll try and find it again and post it here.
