Mm, you may be right, but not gonna mess with any internals at this time. It runs to good, and reliable, still pushing about 60 on oil pressure when starting, and would get in it, and drive Coast to Coast, with No worries...

This is what I’ve learned though my readings. Now Im not a scientist or anything fancy just a guy that reads. If your depending on the zinc in your oil to protect your flat tappet cam, your looking at your oil backwards. Your first look should be looking at your oil’s ability to retain an oil...

Thanks 69 for the chime. I have ARP 144-3601 as per head manufacturer spec. At present they protrude approx 5/8" outside of the head. I measured the holes today and have at least 1"+ of depth, so not bottoming out that I can see. Also blew air in each with brake cleaner and no holes. But I did...

How can this occur unless there is a vacuum in the crankcase? Never gonna happen under normal operating conditions. Water or condensation in the oil alone creates a pressure condition of steam. It's gotta go somewhere..... Probably out the breather. (Too much air in with no way to escape...

We were converting this to a custom street car with a 408ci / 485hp engine with a 6-sp Tremec DO Transmission, a wishbone front suspension with a 4 link rear. However, due to health issues, the car was put into storage where, it was unknowingly stored at a construction yard, where it picked up...

...ground. Doesn't help. Dude then installs an aftermarket gauge in hopes that the oil pressure will return. It does not. Dude resigns to selling the car in desperation. Chapter 2; Dude B finds car for sale. Dude A explains it has no oil pressure... Rinse, repeat Remember this story is fictional

I added another sentence to my post.....about when oil gets whipped up it becomes aerated and is no longer fluid and oil pressure goes down.

You didn't say how long it has been sitting. I am in the process of starting 5 old Mopars (2 Challengers and 3 Road Runners) that haven't been started in over 25 years. It's amazing how few of problems we've had. We've got 3 running and 2 to go. It's been fun. I'm not going to say what we did is...

Here it is awhile later and I'm still a bit curious about this issue. I made a 900 mile road trip recently and had 20 psi at warm idle. Rolling down the freeway at 70, approx 2100 rpms, I'm at 39 psi. That seems low to me. There are instances where numbers you read don't inspire confidence but...

It's been sitting roughly 20 years, outside but under a carport on gravel.

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...

EXCELLENT REVIEW AND PRESITENTION. I've mentioned before, on my RS23V0A****** GTX, with 0.002"-0.0025" main and rod bearings clearance and 10W-30 Mobil1 (plus 1 pint ZDDP) oil pressure cold @ 2500 RPM = ~80 psi and at 180 degree temp @ 3000 RPM, oil pressure is 65-70 psi with a HIGH VOLUME...

I got a factory idiot oil light so I installed an aftermarket gauge cluster (Volts/Temp/Oil). Had a scare last year with an engine noise I thought could be deadly. Wound up being something simple. I watch my oil pressure more often these days as a result. I have no tach so my two most important...

I don't think bleeding the line will change the pressure reading. Any oil in the line will give you a true pressure reading. It's like an pressure line that has no liquid in it but still gives you a pressure reading.

I received enough good advice on troubleshooting my oil pressure problem searching old threads, I figure I may as well join. Regarding the oil pressure, it suddenly went to "0" on a 40k RB that has always maintained excellent OP. No Oil from the pressure sensor port. No knocking, but valve...

Excellent news. Time and patience pay off. I prefer to leave the hood off for a while. It runs cooler and it's so much easier to check for leaks, double check valve cover bolts and such. And it's pretty bad ***.

No, I didn't. pressure was probably too low. I did break in the camshaft and made sure I used non-synthetic oil and a bottle of zinc additive.

What harness and ECU are you using? Not sure what to say about the MAT deal but I am sure there is a work around. As far as it being too short, I'd just lengthen the wires by cutting them in staggered fashion so that the cuts are not next to each other, then I would use a butt connector and...

Update Update: I ditched the chineseum Carter pump, regulator and pressure gauge and put in the EB pump. Engine operates perfectly with no flooding. I timed the engine back to 12 BTDC, adjusted the carb, and it idles smoothly at 750 rpm. Not bad for sitting idle for basically 27 years (one...

I know for a fact that the new box I just got in is mounted a tad sharper and closer to the firewall but mine aint that sharp and it also has a different type of brace than my old one has. My PS pump only has 1 shim in it and the first 500 miles it’s felt great and at idle setting still you...
