Last year I dealt with the dreaded rear main seal leak on my coronets 318. After trying four different seals I was able to stop the leak. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a drop of oil at the bottom of the bell housing and panicked! I removed the transmission inspection port and no oil buildup...

FWIW, mine was on my '77 360 Ramcharger daily driver way back, early '80s. One cold morning I started it up and seemed fine. As it warmed up the oil pressure dropped off considerably. Shut it down checked oil level which was fine and no shiny particles on the stick. Restarted and pressure came...

He's giving us oil pressure numbers, does the stock gauge do that? I have used an oil pump gasket on a small block, or not, no change in oil pressure, for me.

Yeah, I calculated the same change in spring pressure which worried me since Hughes likes stiffer springs. I bought the cam, lifter, spring, oil package from them for their "No flat cam guarantee" and am following their instructions, all 13 pages. I removed the seal and the cup was shimmed...

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...

...correctly before proceeding. Cranked it with a remote switch (ignition off). I could see that the air bubbles in the oil pressure gauge line were not moving. Cranked for 10-15 seconds, no oil pressure. I didn’t like that, so I pull the distributor and primed with a drill. Came right up to...

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...

I had this happen on my 383 recently. The engine had a full rebuild and I was changing out the break in oil. Put in new Penn Grade oil and WIX filter and once the engine started, no pressure and lots of upper end clatter. I shut off the engine and checked to be sure I didn't have a catastrophic...

Thanks! My Tempurature gauge works so I guess it isn’t the Voltage Limiter. It is most likely the sending unit. I will try to locate a good used one to refurbish.

No oil pressure doesn't care about 6 quarts or 8 quarts it just makes sure at HIGH RPM the pan isn't sucked dry..

The SunPro oil pressure gauge idles at 75psi. I can’t be sure the gauge is correct but if it’s accurate is that too high?

71-74 rallye dash no numbers just hashes if memory serves me

Here’s a clip taken immediately after firing it up for cam break-in. No shifter boot so a bit of smoke but it went away quickly. Oh, notice the oil pressure

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...

More to the story now. When it started, the fuel, oil pressure and temp. gauges weren't working. FFS! popped the cluster out again and pushed on the power supply to those gauges. Buttoned it back up and tested again. Gauges work but no start! I reached down and pushed the ignition harness plug...

No, there is NOT 100 psi there. Very little pressure actually, just crankcase blowby pressure. See the 2 holes in the back of the cam brg? That allows the oil to flow back into the pan so there is no pressure build up. Dan, Are you sure the leak was from the cam plug? Sil should have sealed it...

Some would say it's too high but I have no issues with it. Probably just tight clearances with a high pressure pump. Could be heavy weight oil too.

68 charger… i have no interest at this time to tear apart dash to troubleshoot factory gages, so bought aftermarket gages, oil pressure, voltage, water temp, fuel gage…. 3 of 4 work perfectly. Gas gage- not so much. Purchased correct ohms gage for Mopar…has excellent ground, turn on ignition and...

Nope. Have you ever actually installed a mech oil pressure gauge ? On your, or a customers, car ? I'd like to know where vibration will cause the copper line to crack and break. I wonder if you know what to do to avoid that condition.
