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

There could be a few issues contributing to this. Hot spots on the flywheel from slippage or not being surfaced when clutch was installed[ gotta do this when replacing the clutch unit], pilot bearing/bushing bad, oil leak from engine or trans contaminating the clutch. Some people like to use the...

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...

Hmm, never heard of the Gibbs before, but, I'll be happy to look into it. Being in PA, which the summers can get quite warm, I'm leaning towards 5 quarts of the 10w-30 (and no Lucas additive). Seeing how I probably should use conventional vs. synthetic blend products, such as the Brad Penn /...

What we’re working soon.. it’s got a bad oil pump. It cranks but the valves are clacking showing no oil pressure.. and it’s got metal shavings in engine.. so where going to pull and rebuild it.. give me something new to drive.. 5.7 Hemi..

#1 I don't remember whose cam that one was (and you know I'm not protecting anyone because I will talk bad about any cam grinder) we were working on 4 engines at that time. #2 I assume it was bent when it was put in new. (Won't make that mistake again.) Never assume a new cam is straight. New...

...block cleaning, they need to be removed. And after it's cleaned you need to make sure they're replaced. Otherwise you'll end up with no oil pressure. Also on the tool list: tap and die set. Or at the minimum, taps in the sizes needed for all of the threaded holes. Either before its tanked...

Add to that possible leak list the oil pressure sender.

I ran into that situation on a 350 SBC ages ago. 10/10 crank, std bearings. Ran perfect, no noise at all. Normal-ish oil pressure on cold start, very very low pressure when warm.

...3.5 screen is working (they are on the same cable). 5. It doesn't stay running for more than a 30-45 seconds. 6. Biggest issue; NO OIL PRESSURE... this is a brand new crate engine so I believe that its not a mechanical issue per se. I am running a remote oil filter and I removed that and...

I'm running a rebuilt oil pump, stock replacement Melling parts, on my 440. When hot, oil pressure is around 13psi. It will hit 55psi when romping on it. No issues, no clattering. Deep sump pan with 10w-30. Never had the oil light even flicker, even when racing it.

Unfortunately the key question in these situations is: "Hmmm now what stupid thing did I do here?" When you have the time elapse between starting and finishing it gets more likely. When I started putting my engine back together a few years back I couldn't remember what I'd done with my...

If you are getting over 50 psi oil pressure now then maybe the oil pressure problem is fixed. But I'm still not convinced you are setting the valves properly. You and I would think if you set the valves at TDC firing then the valves would be closed so that's fine right? No, that's not how you...

I run VR1 straight 30 in the winter and straight 40 in the summer in my 400 with 140k miles, it likes it. No cold start issues, builds 80 pounds idling cold and 20 idling hot. From my experience 10w30 is too thin for a stock big block, the oil pressure drops to 0 on hard launches when it's too...

Yeah…. If I had one. Mopar Action had an article years back…Ehrenberg had two AA batteries in series he used to test gauges. I can’t find any damaged wires. I pulled the bulkhead plugs and cleaned them with DeOxit and a wire brush. They got blown out and filled with dielectric grease. No...

I "think" it is there but won't know until I pull the pan which I am not looking forward too, its a pretty tight fit.
