Search results for query: 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...

I think you'd just have 2 forms of oil pick up & with both sucking, neither one of them would have enough volume or pressure taking away from each other, I'd think a single pump vein isn't big enough to supply them both now if you could somehow double it, one feeding each, maybe (like a 2 stage...

Car is all original and the dash harness is in really good original condition, no splicing or anything. As mentioned, the dimmer switch was bought from a mopar guy who rebuilds them and it sat in my drawer for over a year while I worked on the metal. It’s dimming the dome and only dash light...

I just put 10w-30 in my 1969 383. I’m not sure what oil was in it before but I didn’t seem to have any issues. I hooked a mechanical gauge up and the line filled with oil and held 75 at cold temps. However, when the engine is cold now at idle I hold 28 pounds and the oil line to the gauge won’t...

No pics of the hybrid, but have been getting pieces back on. Plug wires done, spun up oil pressure, set the distributor in after getting the engine on TDC, started making battery cables, hooking up starter wires, alt belt on, fan on, new t-stat in, headers on with some longer bolts, fuel lines...

Here's an interesting excerpt from a similar story. *** First off I am sure that WIX makes a great filter. So sure I put them on both my Cruisers. With that being said a faulty 51515 roached my 1FZ. snip Luckily I had kept it and all its contents because when he looked at it he discovered the...

Now that I have my Dash all restored and calibrated I am going through the sensors to validate each plus the wiring. I have the Temp sensor all squared away plus its wiring resistance checked. Now am on the Oil Sensor. Wiring and ground are testing good but sensor is a bit erratic. Current...

Currently working on the valve gear noise. Might need slightly longer pushrods. Phoning CompCams. On hold at the moment. Engine is clean, no wear to mention, other than the timing chain. Compcam said they have pushrods 13 thou longer than stock. I will make more accurate measurements tomorrow...

Hey everybody. I solved a no-start issue on our 74 Road Runner, (including a new ignition switch, neutral safety switch, starter relay…all parts I had around), got her running. (Also, a new ignition key lock) Here’s my issue now: 1)key on, gauges go live. Great 2)start her up, fuel level...

1968 Plymouth Roadrunner up for grabs at a reasonable price. Bought from a family member who's dad passed away so car has sat for some years. I flushed the old gas and changed oil and shes up and running. Has great oil pressure but carbs need apart and cleaned. No rust on body , its had both...

STP, Lucas and similar products are viscosity index improvers meant to guard against oil shear breakdown. Really important since anything with sprockets and chains has to deal with oil shear. The days of using one oil in your daily, hot rod, lawn mower etc. are long gone. My suggestion is to...

Air is drawn IN through the breather. Air is drawn OUT through the PCV by manifold vacuum. Since much of the crankcase volume is from blowby, just how much air is drawn through the breather is questionable. More often than not there is oil spray around the breather which would indicate there is...

19 page thread, were there any conclusions? In the last year, Summit no longer carries the Wix filter. Strange that they would drop it. I think they sell the race version that is marketed by Driven. I don’t get a warm fuzzy about it since the origin is a little cloudy. My last couple of oil...

Recently my 200,000 Grand Cheeroke lost nearly all its oil pressure. Read 6 psi on the gauge. Sounded fine. Towed it home. The 3.6 engine uses a cartridge style filter, so it makes inspection easy. Pulled the filter to inspect for debris in case there was engine damage. Zero debris, but it...

Update, went to napa after work and bought a napa gold filter 1515 ( made in USA ) on the lable still looks identical to the wix. pulled the old , screwed on the new one dry as allways fired it up and pressure popped right up to normal. Top off the oil again. Did the pump loose prime ? Bad...

My engine builder does it all by hand and no drill. I tried once and in about 8 turns you could feel the pressure and see the oil. had the valve covers off

Probably wouldn't run it if it was an actual airplane!? Bunching up a car motor is one thing.. aero not so cool

This all leads to the possibility of a crack in the p/u tube threads

So I restored the AC system on the 69 Charger myself. I brought in an AC technician to check it out and charge it up. So last weekend we pressure and vacuum tested the system. Everything is new or rebuilt. The system tested so no leaks once I found good quality R134 adapters and the right O...

Too high? Cold, no. What is warm idle pressure/45mph pressure? I like a 40-45lb idle warm, and 60-65 down the road. 75 at road speed wouldn't bother me. That looks to be about a 7-8qt pan (+filter). I'd run 7qts, including filter. I would absolutely ignore the fill line on the dipstick. The...
