So, I just finished putting my engine back together. I have an 05 mitsubishi outlander with a 2.4 L 4 cylinder. Here's what I've replaced:
Pistons
Piston Rings
Rod bearings
main bearings
thrust bearings
head gasket
valves
timing belt
tensioner pully
vvt solenoid
starter motor
fuel filter
Last night after I finally got it back together and tried to start it up. It runs for maybe 3 seconds with loud random squeaking and then just dies. It almost sounds like the piston rings get stuck or something. I know the timing was all lined up before I started it up. Any suggestions of possible issues? Thanks
What makes this problem better or worse?
full throttle

Any indication from dash instrumentation that there is indeed oil pressure when the engine is running - even if only for a few seconds?
(Oil pressure light turn off - as it should) ?
There are no indications of good or bad oil pressure displayed on the dash that I can recall. There is no oil pressure gauge on the dash at all in fact.
Yeah, I figured that. I don't have an oil pressure gauge to reference unfortunately. Are you suspecting an issue with the pump?

*ALL vehicles* have either an oil pressure light - OR - an oil pressure gauge! â–ªï¸https://repairpal.com/repair-shops â–ªï¸ Good luck with it!
Right. What I'm saying is there's no gauge to monitor actual oil pressure and the oil light is not illuminated.
