New 51515 wix filter and 5 new qts of Lucas hot rod 10-40 oil. Opened the door fired it up. Looking under the hood for leaky filter ect. Lifters start ticking , WTF, zero pressure shut it right down. I have never had to prime the filters on this engine. It only sat 10 minutes with no oil in...

I should clarify We know that high oil pressure has no downsides, Low oil pressure has all down sides. Gamble on that for your own ( financial?) Reasons.

how long did you run it ?

The 10 lbs oil pressure and flickering oil inspires no confidence over here.. I'd be checking the oil for shimmer and throwing a new HV pump at it. If not too late

High volume pump. Motors are too expensive to FAFO experimenting with dangerously low oil pressure for no good reason.

YES I've had a bad Wix 51515, no oil pressure, car was fine with a different filter. I never fill filters, done thousands of oil changes. No need, waste of time and maybe spilling oil. And where do you fill it, right down the center hole? That's when the clean oil comes out, not where the oil...

I changed the oil and filter on my 440, recent build with a new pump, Wix filter. Started it up, no oil pressure. Scared the crap out of me, pulled the filter, pulled the pump. Couldn’t find anything wrong, got out another filter, half- filled it with oil, put it all back together, started up...

Alright, I tried looking in the forums for more info and apologize if a thread already exists on this, but have been stumped. The 340 in my car has 60+lbs of oil pressure on cold start and maintains about 35-50lbs on the highway, but low rpm and idle after warm it drops below 20lbs. No knocks or...

...a 2019 manufacture 5.7 crate engine. I got it new and installed it about a year ago into my 71 Charger. I finally went to fire it and no oil pressure. The engine ran for about seconds and died, I did this twice so about 30 seconds all in. Some pertinent info about the engine; Cam changed to...

That is just not true. You have to put it in proper context. An example of high oil pressure is the added significant stress on the oil pump drive. For those that have experienced pump drive failure know what I am talking about. Again - as long as you have oil film additional oil pressure...

I have an aftermarket mechanical oil pressure gauge under the dash on my car. It is fed by a straight copper tube. When the engine is idling, the needle bounces all over the place. I have another oil-filled gauge under the hood that registers 70 psi, with no bouncing. Do I need to put a couple...

eck.. i didn't see the PSI part in the post... yeah that's bad... sorry :( i need to stop posting. :)

Had that happen to me. Took off oil filter and screwed around for half hour or so. Filled filter half full put it on fired it up no oil pressure. Had to remove pump and white lube it. Now no screwing around once filter comes off.

He's giving us oil pressure numbers, does the stock gauge do that? I have used an oil pump gasket on a small block, or not, no change in oil pressure, for me.

I had this happen on my 383 recently. The engine had a full rebuild and I was changing out the break in oil. Put in new Penn Grade oil and WIX filter and once the engine started, no pressure and lots of upper end clatter. I shut off the engine and checked to be sure I didn't have a catastrophic...

No, there is NOT 100 psi there. Very little pressure actually, just crankcase blowby pressure. See the 2 holes in the back of the cam brg? That allows the oil to flow back into the pan so there is no pressure build up. Dan, Are you sure the leak was from the cam plug? Sil should have sealed it...

Some would say it's too high but I have no issues with it. Probably just tight clearances with a high pressure pump. Could be heavy weight oil too.

No oil pressure doesn't care about 6 quarts or 8 quarts it just makes sure at HIGH RPM the pan isn't sucked dry..

The SunPro oil pressure gauge idles at 75psi. I can’t be sure the gauge is correct but if it’s accurate is that too high?

71-74 rallye dash no numbers just hashes if memory serves me
