451 on the topic of break in oil, I’m deciding on what viscosity and brand. My engine builder included 2 small bottles of a mix to add to I believe the oil Mabye it’s gas? With this additive I should not buy break in specific oil correct? As for brand I was interested in either royal purple or...

But what if you only put clean oil in the filter ??

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...

Did nick happen to say what the oil pressure actually was? I’d be pulling the front cover and degreeing cam and checking for missing galley plugs.

In the old days when I was asked what oil to use I answered, "It doesn't matter, just change it on time"

Imo, Penzoil was one of them that was a junk oil. Used to change my oil quite often since I was drag racing my one and only driver. One day I was checking out a lifter tick and pulled off a valve cover and it had gunge streaks in it already.

Hi everyone I have a question about the 4 holes on the back of the motor mainly the 2 hole on the left and right of the crank. So when I am running my engine at idle does great 50 psi of oil pressure then if I give a bit of rpm oil will start to come out of the bell hosing I am wondering where...

What you're asking is irrelevant. The real importance is the amount of oil in the pan. The dipstick/indicator should be tailored to the actual, and correct, volume of oil.

Its a 70s Mallory voltmaster with a Mancini racing orange box

This is a OEM 1970's Twist On Oil Filler Cap. It is original, not a china knockoff, and is in decent condition, just needs a cleanup and repaint. I can no longer remember for sure what engine this came off of, but I believe it will work on small and big blocks. $10.00. Local pickup, or buyer...

Oil has to go somewhere. Take a look at what you're looking at.

What condition are the plugs in that you are currently using? Are they consistent? some oil fouled? What type of ignition?

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.
