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..

...correctly before proceeding. Cranked it with a remote switch (ignition off). I could see that the air bubbles in the oil pressure gauge line were not moving. Cranked for 10-15 seconds, no oil pressure. I didn’t like that, so I pull the distributor and primed with a drill. Came right up to...

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

Here’s a clip taken immediately after firing it up for cam break-in. No shifter boot so a bit of smoke but it went away quickly. Oh, notice the oil pressure

Ever watch an oil sight glass for a sleeve bearing where you increase flow and pressure and all of a sudden it starts foaming? I have. No foaming at lower flow and pressure. Does the same thing happen inside an engine? How do you know? Like I said, talk to a tribologist if you want to get...

So five main bearings, each with an area about twice the size of the thrust surface... Add to the they are horizontal surfaces where oil with tend to puddle whereas the thrust surface is vertical and tends to shed oil... Enough already, you do you, I'll continue to put my manual trans in...

Or I changed mine 3x once and last time believe it or not my valve cover breather was plugged ( thought I had clean one from because at the time there was was no resto ones available and had a newer Mopar high domed chrome one on with chrome valve covers and during resto of the car put all my...

This is a Used Oil Pressure Gauge Sending Unit. It is for a oil pressure gauge, not a idiot light. I can no longer remember what year or model this one came out of, but I'm sure it worked or I wouldn't have saved it. $15.00. Local pickup, or buyer pays shipping.

It’s a Dakota digital dash, so looks stock but does have a digital output to show metrics.

If you do the math the side clearance isn't the restriction of oil exit flow at the rod bearing. It's the rod bearing to crank clearance. I've never talked to anybody that ran wide side clearance where it caused an issue. Doug

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too - at cold start, I would want as minimum friction as possible. But, the shop recommended this combo to increase oil pressure. I was thinking 'if' I did run the straight 40w, then no Lucas additive as the 40w here in PA should be thick enough. But, again...

No, not for a second, but Nick seemed to imply he has seen it before and the downsides were not observed nor obvious, and why I thought the question was worth asking. I "thought" side clearance played a major role in oil flow/pressure operating aspects.

Last year I dealt with the dreaded rear main seal leak on my coronets 318. After trying four different seals I was able to stop the leak. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a drop of oil at the bottom of the bell housing and panicked! I removed the transmission inspection port and no oil buildup...

Make sure you have the blue o ring that seals the pickup tube to the actual pump. I work at a dealer and have seen many times where the o ring has been overlooked and no oil pressure

The one that gets pressed in under the main cap is a hidden one that is easier to miss because you don't really see it. That one causes near complete loss of oil pressure. The screw-in one near the distributor I missed caused lower oil pressure everywhere, but most notably in the left side...

Hey guys, I just got a "new" to me 1968 Charger with a "rebuilt" 383. Come to find out the guy I got it from had 0 idea on how to build the car and did a lot of things very half assed. The oil pressure gauge in the car doesn't work so hooked a mechanical gauge to it. I think the car sat for...

The handset (aka the oil pressure sender connected to the ECU harness) is plumbed into the/a oil port in the front the block where the original sending unit was (I believe). I also have a manual gauge plumbed into the return line from the oil filter which showed a slight bit of oil but no...
