the oil pump won't make the noise but if it is bad the rods and valves may knock This could be your problem and how to check it out. Check to the Dip stick to make sure you have oil in the engine, if there is oil in the engine, then read below. I have Had the same problem with my truck. Unfortuanly it was not the oil pump. The connecting bearing spun in the engine, until it was small metal chips, then they get suck into the oil pumps screen, and you loose oil pressure or have pressure when motor starts for a few second's, the engine makes a knocking sound and does not run smooth at all. How to check if it is a spun bearing very simple dran the oil out of your truck Check the Bolt that you took out of the oil pan and see if there are small metal flaks stuck to it, also look up in the oil pan bolt hole to see if you see large metal pieces there. What can cause this problem is a long time between oil changes, that is what happend to me.

How do you check the oil pressure on a 85 celebrity with a oil light not sure if oil pump is working?
If the oil light is working and is off with engine running, then you have oil pressure. To determine how much pressure, you need a pressure Gage.
How do you know if your oli pump is working?
If it is not working you have no oil pressure and the oil light will come on or the oil pressure gauge will drop to 0. You will also hear engine noise, as in, pecking, or knocking. Engine will also overheat very quickly.

On the inside of the trunk where the light comes through, you'll find 4 big round plastic nuts that you unscrew. The whole light unit comes out once those are removed.
You have 85 celebrity 28 carb loud knocking from lower engine loss of power oil changed regulary no leakage usage took oil cap off with engine running looked dry could it be oil pump or rod knocking?
The rod knocking is caused by loss of oil pressure. Did the oil light not come on? That light is red, red means stop. Do not start this engine again until the problem is corrected. You are probably looking at way more than just installing a new oil pump if the engine was run for very long without oil pressure. A complete overhaul may be in order.
How do you change tail light cover 1989 celebrity?
I just replaced the entire tail light housing. open trunk theres I think 4 nuts to unscrew and the whole thing pops out ,you have to unplug the wires. I got the entire housing for like 15 bucks on ebay. took about 4 minutes to change it out. If I remember correctly the red plasitic light cover is just glued onto the light housing if you just want to replace the red cover. probably still want to pull the whole thing out first though.
