Search results for query: no oil pressure

I'm leaning toward replace. Just finished my taxes. No refunds coming, but I broke even after my 2024 payments. Thought I was still going to owe big. My 318 *low vacuum *mediocre braking *terrible gas mileage *massive pressure under left side valve cover and normal under right side. Right side...

No smell of anti freeze , oil not mixing, no smoke from exhaust.....

No coolant associated with the intake. Most likely water neck,water pump,header bolts or studs in head. Oil can travel up threads of intake mounting bolts. Steel valve covers very prone to leak oil if not strait or sealed properly. PCV is very important to keep crankcase pressure from pushing...

Its Time.... For one of these-

The 6.4 in my truck has hot idle oil pressure at 30 PSI since new.

I have a 68 Charger and read every ralley gauge cluster thread here and across the web- and I still cannot solve this issue. My dead gauges came back functioning after I replaced the IVR with the RTE solid state limiter but something along thr way happened and now when I turn my lights on, my...

Same here. 45 years of doing my own oil changes. The problem I'm having is engine lost oil pressure, changed pump (440) and still no pressure. Reaching out for other ideas what causes pressure loss. I welcome ideas on making install is correct.

If pilot lights ( brake and oil ) are not working it could be missed positive (same that feeds the VL) or missed senders. Oil sender on engine bay. You can ground the wire and should light up Brake sender… this light gets two signals: emergency/parking brake and brake fluid dist block signal...

Also should have mentioned no Fram filter, Wix.

Nice looking. You need to post some more pictures. You will get a hundred answers but I like WIX filters and I select a multi-grade, non-synthetic oil that is thick enough to give me 20 psi oil pressure at hot idle in hot weather. For me that may be Driven 10W-30, Driven 20W-50 or Rotella...

Problem: installed new oil pump, started engine and had no oil pressure. Solution: prime oil pump with assembly lube before installing new oil pump. Lesson learned, dry oil pump will not draw oil from pan.

IT'S ALIVE! 2.0 Yesterday was the culmination of time, hard work (for me), and money. I primed the oil pump holding 55 psi, poured some Sunoco 93 down the carb, cranked only two/three times so fuel got to the carb and - boom - it fired right up! 20 Min 2000 RPM - the temp never went above 180...

Been out there a few hours, everything is tight. So it appears it the main seal. My oil pressure gauge is showing at 75-80 when warm. Well, buy my dream car after all these years and its goinf to have to sit for a while. Gotta love it! LoL

That sounds like detonation to me. Maybe post up what you've done about that.

I cut the shafts into pieces and removed the rockers. Everything else looked great, so reinstalled with new lifters and shafts with original rockers. Set lash. After break in, car idles and runs great but has hellacious (I think) valvetrain noise with any load applied. No way it's detonation...

open it just enough to get oil squirting out while idling or with someone cranking starter as it starts then tighten before u get sprayed with oil

...in towards the timing gears and look through the galley plug hole in the back of the engine, you can see that you most definitely forgot to put the plug in! The cost of a new gasket now is almost priceless compared to the frustration of trying to figure out why there is no oil pressure later on.

Episode 2. Spent a fair portion of yesterday working on the "Net". First up, adjusting valve lash. Easy peasy... unless someone flippin glued both faces of a composite cover gasket to the covers and heads. It literally took twice as long to clean up that mess than it did to set the valves...

Check to see if if a lifter popped out. If a rocker arm breaks, and I've broken a few, a tappet can be tossed out of it's bore and all oil pressure is lost.
