Search results for query: what oil

Ever watch an oil sight glass for a sleeve bearing where you increase flow and pressure and all of a sudden it starts foaming? I have. No foaming at lower flow and pressure. Does the same thing happen inside an engine? How do you know? Like I said, talk to a tribologist if you want to get...

"If your entire oil supply is so coagulated" That is not the level that is required to cause a large filter oil bypass condition, what is needed is just enough to block the filter media. And what will flow thru bearings I believe in most cases is much larger than what most filters will...

I don't know what the bearing clearances are. I had the machine shop assemble the rotating assembly. Nor does the 440 source website mention whether or not the bearings are grooved. If I idled at 1200, then it would be at a more reasonable pressure.

Don’t forget to ask what oil should I run in my high-performance 318 too.

The low profile 7 quart pan should clear the windage tray, but sits an inch or so below the K-member. On street engines I usually use the reproduction hemi oil pan and the Plastic JEGs windage tray/pan gasket ($50). https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/502001/10002/-1?_br_psugg_q=windage+tray Not...

I'm swapping to a 6 qt Hemi/440 pan MRE - Oil Pan & Pick Up, 6 qt.

There is a washer and a clip on top of the seal, I can't see any dirt getting in there, but I can see oil leaking out. I go with what I think is right, so I install them lip down. I have not worked on a lot of transmissions however.

The car had everything either rebuilt or replaced including a color change on paint. Originally power steering/ brakes. In the process I replaced all wiring at mechanic shop. 440 stroked, aluminum heads. New spindles Wilwood discs in front, new drums in rear. The car just seemed to”linger” at...

Ask Charlies what the oil pan capacity is. Install pan, put quoted oil amount in engine, and adjust dipstick tube length until the "Full" mark matches oil level in pan.

I’m no Mopar expert but I think the oil dipstick goes into the 440 block right behind the left side motor mount. Mine has a threaded plug in that location. I’ve never seen a threaded hole for the dipstick tube. What gives?

The one we had at work used oil....but a water based coolant has oil in it. Machining parts with a lathe or milling machine used water based coolant that felt oily and nothing rusted even if the finished part wasn't whiped off.

I just use whatever is on sale 10w30 conventional oil in all my classic cars. The seal technology was not what it is today with tighter machined tolerances and newer style o-ring seal gaskets. Synthetic oils will weap in most old school engines.

What do you mean? Like you can't technically fill it 100%?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too - at cold start, I would want as minimum friction as possible. But, the shop recommended this combo to increase oil pressure. I was thinking 'if' I did run the straight 40w, then no Lucas additive as the 40w here in PA should be thick enough. But, again...

Bought an oil filter and battery for the zero turn. Been jump starting it with a NoCo pack for 2 seasons now...new battery was only $49...what the hell.

The slot is in the drive gear, it is engaged with the camshaft. You won't spin anything with that slot. Take the drive gear out, and the bottom end is a 5/16" Thats what drives the oil pump. The priming tool is 18 inches long.

I don't see how you could prime the system using the slot on the intermediate shaft. It's geared to the camshaft. You need to remove it and spin the oil pump directly. So a 5/16 hex tool is required.

My 18 Ram 2500 Cummins you have to go through the right front wheel well inner fender access hole to even see the filter. Taking the wheel off is the easiest way to change it and oil goes all over the front suspension because there is no access from the bottom or top. What a PITA. It's a good...

I have to agree with Dwayne that if the relief valve is completly bottomed I've seen close to 200psi. Install the cup backwards in a small block and see what happens. My belief is that some oil is always bypassing. But by the time that there is a spring that holds the valve that far bottomed...

My question answered: "The windage tray is not necessary with this pan. It can be used in conjunction with minimal modifications, but is not necessary with the added oil control this pan offers."
