Both were reading a little over average

I had it checked by a few mechanics and one said lifters, and another said I'm not getting any oil pressure. Could be no oil pressure, could be low.
Im just trying to get an accurate diagnosis so I can call
Around and find out how much more or less. Just finished paying 900 on labor just for the install. So I'm hurting now.
And I am having a cloud of white smoke fallowing me around everywhere I go.

Might not want to drive it all over the place with that kind of engine problem... How does your coolant look?

Unfortunately my reservoir broke and i currently do not have one. I know they are dirt cheap but my auto parts stores suck around here.

Huh. The white smoke usually means coolant burning, which usually means blown head gasket. Either way, you want to go ahead and stop driving it around, if at all possible, because you're going to do way more damage than can be fixed on a budget.

A radiator can cause a problem like this?
How so?

Wait no oil pressure? Umm it may just be that your feed tube fell off, then your pump won't pull any oil. And water in the oil isn't going to cause no oil pressure either.

If the coolant was low it would be leaking into the oil or combustion chamber via a bad head gasket. Nothing to do with the radiator. That oil pump feed tube is sounding plausible. Either way, someone needs to get in the engine and figure it out, which means not driving it until it blows up, agreed?
