Problem: installed new oil pump, started engine and had no oil pressure. Solution: prime oil pump with assembly lube before installing new oil pump. Lesson learned, dry oil pump will not draw oil from pan.

Idle pressure. Thanks again.

Phew. A big thanks to FBBO'rs for the insight on oil pump install. Was thinking the worse, spun bearing, dropped or blocked pick up, motor rebuild. Funny that Ma's repair/maintenance manual makes no mention of priming new pump. But it does make complete sense. Thanks again and happy holidays.

I just installed a new Rockauto Mellings oil pump.

Would Permatex Anti-Seize lube be too thick for priming the oil pump? I use it mainly on fasteners.

Does STP make a thick Vaseline like product?

Same here. 45 years of doing my own oil changes. The problem I'm having is engine lost oil pressure, changed pump (440) and still no pressure. Reaching out for other ideas what causes pressure loss. I welcome ideas on making install is correct.

Hello Fran. What is this STP Vaseline in this post? Searched on Google and Stone Temple Pilots comes up.

I'll give that a shot.

Yes

Also should have mentioned no Fram filter, Wix.

Tell me more about cracking the oil filter. I too am having same problem. This is not a rebuild issue. Engine was running fine since car purchase 2 years ago. Would occasionally see oil dash light stay lit after start up but would go away. But now oil light stays lit. Put mechanical oil...

What’s the latest on Frank N Run? Great project to learn all the levels of auto assembly and repair.

The no no lead adapter are for those people who liked blood poisoning and brain damage.

72redbird. I see you're in Albequerque. One of my favorite trips 4 years ago rented an RV in Albequerque and drove Route 66 to Grand Canyon and back to Albequerque over 10 days. Finished trip at Enchanted RV park and trading post. Beautiful view of the city lights from up on the hill...

I did replace the AC board. Did not fix problem. I disconnected T1 and T2 wires (those 2 wires go down to the furnace) from that AC board and jumped them together clear from the AC board and still had furnace fire up and throw heat in the cabin. AC board is not signaling furnace to fire. If...

I have been in the AC housing. Up top and from inside the house. No nest or debris in fan housing. Have seen bits of foam, that got me metering the wires for grounds or shorts. I haven't checked power to the fan yet. Fridge and furnace do share power source. Green/ white wire from fuse to...

Where's the temp sensors, and how do you diagnose a bad sensor?

Also in my diagnosing observed that when I disconnect the T1, T2 wires at the AC brain the furnace will not run, but with those wires disconnected and jumped together the furnace will fire up.

The problem is 2 things that came up after winter storage. One is the AC fan doesn’t work. Second the furnace will turn on without the thermostat on. The furnace will heat up the house to an uncomfortable level. Turning the thermostat on/off does nothing while the furnace is on nor sliding...
