So this past weekend I changed the pump for a stock volume and pressure pump and pick up tube. Cold start it goes to 40psi and hit idel it goes to 5psi. Barley registers on the factory gauge. Any ideas? Motor seems to run fine and no blue smoke from the exhaust. Bad bearing or oil galley plug?

I'm taking a running engine apart, looking for obvious defects and checking a few things, then putting it back together again with the new heads. So, at least I know everything works together. In all honesty, if I had to worry about all the stuff above, I probably wouldn't bother and just ship...

I went with epoxy coating, I have done everything in there but haven’t used a cutting torch. No need to for me. It is extremely durable. We get a lot of sand/salt mix on our roads and in the spring ,Pressure wash the floor and it’s like new. Gas ,oil antifreeze does not affect it. I had garage...

Here's a rebuild kit with both springs and everything else to rebuild a standard volume pump, kinda pricey though. I'm a fan of high volume/standard pressure pumps. If you've ever primed an engine, a high pressure pump will ask a lot of your drill. Plus no risk of snapping an intermediate shaft...

No, my bad. I was thinking of another lifter thread. Also I believe you're right , you should have more pressure. Take the pump off and check it out

I will second the GJ site. I have epoxy in my parking area and we use the room for parties too. It easily cleans up. My shop floor is clear sealed concrete but, spilled gasoline will soften and raise hell with the sealer. Sparks from cutting torches and welding will/can mar any floor. Even with...

B Better too much oil pressure than not.....oil pressure is cheaper than bearing replacement. The GTX HIGH VOLUME PUMP AND 10W-30 MOBIL1: Cold=80 psi; hot @1200rpm=60 psi; hot @ 4000rpm=75 psi. Zero wear on distributor bushing or gear. BOB RENTON

OMG, has it been ages since I’ve posted! That doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy working on the Fury, just been pushing along at a slow and steady pace and limiting my weekly spending. All that being said there’s been a ton of progress, including: * Got a hydraulic T/O bearing from Ram * Got...

i did a leak down. It was the same as other cylinders. I'm going to pull a valve spring off and look at the seal I want to check the spring pressure too I never did when I bought the heads and forget what they were if they told me. then check the intake gasket. if the oil ring is bad would the...

Episode 2. Spent a fair portion of yesterday working on the "Net". First up, adjusting valve lash. Easy peasy... unless someone flippin glued both faces of a composite cover gasket to the covers and heads. It literally took twice as long to clean up that mess than it did to set the valves...

How long have you had the car? What is “This”? Oil level has nothing to do with voltage. Your car has an aftermarket volt meter ? You likely have a choke, or choke adjustment issue. Nothing to do with oil pressure. Could be a lot of things. Mostly tune up related. Unlikely unrelated to...

To add a bit about startup: With a flat tappet cam, I would use old, weak springs for break it. Yes, it might seem like a pain to have to change them after break in, but no where near as much of a pain as it is to fix a wiped cam. Even 300# open spring pressure is too much for break in. An...

From my experience, use a Wix filter, not Fram. From an earlier post, if a pushrod bends and a lifter pops out of its bore (highly unlikely), you would have NO oil pressure, not just low.

Is it safe for the oil filter to run a no bypass oiling system with a high pressure high volume big block pump?

Only 1, a Ford 302 in a 1970 Falcon. Oil pump seized on my way to high school. Drove it to school and back with no oil pressure, about 35 miles roundtrip. It was getting sluggish, but still running when I pulled back in the driveway. All the bearings were trashed and the motor was full of...

Ordered an rpm intake for it, hopefully have it installed by next weekends shows. It’s got a pertronix ignition on it, not sure on the timing though. Something to look into. The old sunpro tach has a redline at 4,200 so I didn’t want to rev over that without some more info, not looking to hurt...

Yea... I did. Running through a host of other minor issues like no tach, no temp and no oil pressure readings. The 5v converter is gone TU on me I think.

Oil pressure is very simple. It's flow volume minus internal leaks minus viscosity. At idle the volume can not be increased by a stiffer spring or shimming the spring unless the by pass is open at idle. Which is not the case at 20psi. The internal leaks can't be changed at this point w/o engine...

That's really cool to see the actual tool originally used to calibrate the gauges. I also note that each gauge is tuned slightly different on the plus/minus target. Definitely, great info. To clarify on my question, I have already done the gauges, although not with that exact extra "+/-...
