    New Engine Build - Low Oil Pressure Problem

    Update: The Melling pump was bad OR after speaking to Trickflow the Fram filter may have been the problem although I did have on on the high volume pump with no issues. End all...I changed the pump and got minimum 50 psi. There are no bent valves. I did pull the heads and checked everything...

    Trickflow Heads with HP Manifolds? Plugs?

    So just an update. For piece of mind I did pull the heads. No damage. The puff of smoke should be rings still breaking in. Hopefully get back together before the big freeze. I did flip the heads and also pour antifreeze in the combustion chamber. No leaking. I will be able to set the lash now...

    New Engine Build - Low Oil Pressure Problem

    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...

    New Engine Build - Low Oil Pressure Problem

    EOIC Exhaust Open/Intake Closed - That's when you adjust all/each of the Intakes? To adjust the Exhaust it's the opposite? Intake Open/Exhaust Closed?

    New Engine Build - Low Oil Pressure Problem

    I will do that. Question is why now the puff of blue smoke and a miss? Will too much preload in the incorrect cam position bend valves? The cam is.530 lift and.286.6 duration

    Trickflow Heads with HP Manifolds? Plugs?

    I have changed the NEW oil pump with an existing high volume pump I had and resolved the low oil pressure. But now I have another problem that I hope isn't serious. I used the chart above and after restarting the engine heard some clapping noise that did eventually go away thinking it was...

    New Engine Build - Low Oil Pressure Problem

    I did start the engine. It did produce the oil much better pressure. I'm not sure what went wrong with the melling pump. I removed the spring and plunger easy enough with a magnet. I get over 50 psi now. New problem. I adjusted the valve preload previously thinking it might have been the...

    New Engine Build - Low Oil Pressure Problem

    Thank you for taking the time to respond and give advice on the procedure. I did remove the pump thinking I wanted the high volume feature anyway and I know it worked well on my engine before with less than 20,000 cause it was a season cruise only car. The pump I removed looked like the...

    New Engine Build - Low Oil Pressure Problem

    My situation is I never felt much pressure when I primed the pump. Normally there is a significant amount of resistance when you prime. I have always used 1/2 drive drills because of the load on the drill while priming the oil system. The drill just kept going with some but not a lot of...

    New Engine Build - Low Oil Pressure Problem

    I guess it could come to that if swapping the pump doesn't change anything. The motor in in the car assembled. Would you do this while priming the pump? I have to double check which lifters I bought. I think Hughes but not 100 percent sure yet. Thanks for the replies. So the high lift of...

    Trickflow Valve Covers with 1.6 Rockers

    New Engine Build - Low Oil Pressure Problem

    So how do I do that? Remove the intake? Why would an oil band be exposed? Too high a lift? Are you talking about the groove in the lifter? This is a 530 lift cam. Would this bleed be a huge problem during priming the pump without the engine running?

    New Engine Build - Low Oil Pressure Problem

    I thought I would ask the Mopar experts out there for their thoughts with my situation. Some background: I brought a 440 six pack engine to a builder to freshen it up with a more modern approach. The engine ran great except I had some bad gas clogging the filter and carbs. A freeze out plug...

    Thurust bearing taken out on new build. Help

    You are talking about checking this without mounting the trans? Just bolt on the flex plate to the crank and place the converter up against it?
