Search results for query: no oil pressure

This first chart procedure was posted for me to use by someone that responded to a different post. I used this method and it resulted in loud clatter. I don't know if it was poor lifter preload smacking valve stems because of a lack of oil pressure or valves smacking the piston. The noise did...

There is just one, under the rear main cap (SBC also has one). It is usually a 9/16" freeze plug, measure it to be sure.

Low oil pressure at idle means oil is internally leaking faster than with factory clearance. Where? More than likely lifter bores. Possibly some extra bearing clearance as well. Can you do anything about the lifter bore short of bushing them. Or reaming for a larger lifter? No. Obviously the cam...

So …… it’s a race motor in a street car! OK , I get it ! How much have you won ? Have you contacted T&D Machine OR Jessel? Get some BILLET STEEL Rockers & THEN Sidestep the clutch at 9 grand & not worry ! Try it sometime! But eat your Wheaties b4 U Doo….. Mopar2ya!

Have been hooking more stuff up for a week or so. Ended up having to add an MSD6 unit in the mix as it would not light without it. Supposedly it ran when he bought it. So...either the seller pulled a fast one on him when he wasn't looking, kept the unit, or it fell off during the transport home...

1970 Ralley dash on a RR. Been having issues with either no oil pressure showing on the gauge or it pegs past 80 lbs. I am on the third sending unit and no change. Decided to change the gauge itself. Still nothing. I also have the RTE voltage limiter. And the wiring is 10 yr old M&H. I need some...

Did you ever get your Borgeson box and pump sorted? I love the feel of the Borgeson box, until yesterday when it started acting up at low speeds after a 3hr drive. I have new Borgeson box and a not so old Saginaw pump and reservoir installed in 2015 with only 1000 miles on it. Also have PS...

Anyone that has tinkered with cars has at least one, right? The car you wanted that was sold before you got there, the one that was stolen, the one that broke down all the time.... I have a few. This one guy I used to know built a Challenger. He was in his late 40s before he could afford to buy...

Good advice, Thanks.

Hey all trying to figure this issue out before I tear the motor back apart I'm getting oil out of the gauge port port but not enough to read any pressure. I'm using lucas sae30 break in oil with zddp not sure if that oil is too thick? I checked the oil pump and it seems fine. As a last...

While trying to chase down an extremely loud, intermittent valvetrain tick, I found my rocker assembly in the following condition. I'm no expert, but it looks like one issue is lack of oil, judging by the scuff marks. Not sure if it happened when the engine was built or recent. If current, that...

"Zinc" or "ZDDP" as an engine oil additives are actually zinc dialkyldithiophosphates. Think of this stuff like salt. You pour salt in water and dissolve it. Now you have salt water. You can pour it through a sock, an oil filter, cheesecloth, whatever - and you still have salt water You...

No it should not change your timing. Just helps get rid of pressure and oil blow by.

I have found no one wants to know about warranty when it means shipping to Australia I May have found the answer when the started from cold it takes 4 to 5 seconds for the oil to start pumping out the lifters if i open up the restrictors to speed up the process my oil pressure starts to drop...

Well, its used for systems with low or no pressure.

The factory gauges do fail. I had a gauge that would read fine but then randomly drop to zero. My gauge first did this about 300 miles from home and had me worried. The engine did not knock or rattle but it still worried me. I tried different sending units and saw no change at all with any of...

Hi all, 1975 Fury 318 LA. around 50T on rebuild, Daily driver... I've been having an occasional lifter tick... Now that work is over for a couple of months I've decided to move on the project.. I pulled the valve cover on that side.. at first nothing seam out of order .. nothing way lose...

New ARP bolts for the block. Block is fresh and clean. No oil was put in until last night when I went to prime. Ran up to 80 psi quickly but was a long time to get oil to the rockers. Finally it came in as I was getting worried. That is making me think that the right bank has a hole somewhere...

Yes. 3 psi. I looked up a Holley switch and it says 5 psi. Wiring should be C- fuel pump, NC- starter relay/solenoid, NO- key run position. I have seen other ones that look like a plastic oil pressure switch for a light but have 3 spade terminals. If my memory is right (CRS) we never had much...

You should be able to get a replacement drain plug, either from Mopar or at an auto parts store. Get one with a magnet on it (you'll see why). I'm willing to bet the pan threads are fine; worst case you may need to run a tap through them before installing the new drain plug. Get a...
