Hi Im just wondering what is the correct oil pressure sending units for a stock 1969 383 4 spd car. I took a snip of this on the forum and posting it. The top image is what I had on the car. Dont know if the dash board cluster matters or not. I have non rally dash in roadrunner I thought he...

What does low mileage mean? 30,000 on an original engine?or 2000 miles on a rebuilt engine? The age could have hardened oil inside lifters. Yes take them apart and clean. Wont hurt them. They need to go back together with same internals, ans on the same cam lobe, don't mix them. Pre oil...

How about a squealing bypass valve inside the oil filter? Change the filter and see what happens. That's all I got...except... I suppose an oil pump pressure relief valve could squeal (broken/weak spring), but I don't know if you would see pressure pulsations on a gauge tee-d in at the sensor unit.

Guys, original engine/trans was missing from my 68 when purchased and am putting a 67 dated engine together. In the listing for a 68 convertible here, I noticed the oil pan was stamped 402. Is that OEM correct and are there any other number pans that will work with no problems, thanks

What I remember about the episode was a conclusion that oil flow is more critical than oil capacity.

Say what ???? Talk about diversification..... :lol: Must be in the Oil aisle. :rofl:

True - I used the wrong word. I should have said there is no supply of oil to the bearing from the oil pump, so what oil is there has no pressure behind it and little ability to keep the two from touching.

The oil pan was pretty dented up but a new one is $200 so I decided to knock the dents out and repaint it. Then I discovered it's not technically correct for my car. It's a 187 oil pan, where from what I read the '68-'69 440s came with a 402 oil pan. Since my car is not numbers matching (the...

...This is on a OEM brand repo gauge, I will hook up a mechanical gauge to see what it says. I was talking about it with a friend and he asked what oil I’m using. I said 10 W30. He suggested going to 20W50. Now here’s my thinking. 20W50 should give a higher pressure reading because it’s a...

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...

The oil filter that came off was a carquest R85085 and is about 3 1/4” tall. No idea what engine it’s supposed to fit but I guess it was running on this 318 for awhile. I bought a wix 51515 and is roughly 5” tall. This filter is hitting the headers and I’m unable to spin it on. Didn’t know if...

Fresh premium and nothing but Stihl oil for me. Sure they don't make oil, but why guess what is right for the saw for the bit that you use?

I was doing some work on my 318 and came to the realization of how close the oil filter is to the passenger side header. By logic I would think that this may be heating up the oil beyond what it should be. Would this result in oil pressure drop? I have noticed on long runs on the highway it...

You know that Extra Virgin olive oil comes from Extra Ugly olives, don't you?

How many miles is that? What is the cam? Springs/pressures? Rocker ratio? Oil and weight? Oil change frequency? If you take queues from the factory…….. Milder cam profiles, combined with less spring and lower rocker ratios……. should be more reliable than the opposite. The same holds true for...

What is the piston to cylinder wall clearance? This is the biggest factor in what weight oil to use. What is the bearing clearance?

I have a six quart oil pan on a 383 with headers and high volume oil pump. I’m changing the oil and only 3.5 quarts came out, including most of what was in the filter. I filled the new filter part way before installing (1/3 quart), then put five quarts of oil into the engine. I ran it a few...

What did you use for the dyno run and were you happy with the oil pressure.......

Guys zinc is your last line of defense. If you’re worried using up the zinc in your oil you need better oil. Search out the oil with the highest psi oil film thats what matters first. As to zinc additives. Your oil filter filtering your zinc additives is a null point. If you’re using a good oil...
