New 51515 wix filter and 5 new qts of Lucas hot rod 10-40 oil. Opened the door fired it up. Looking under the hood for leaky filter ect. Lifters start ticking , WTF, zero pressure shut it right down. I have never had to prime the filters on this engine. It only sat 10 minutes with no oil in...

Oil pressure gauge reads normally each time when the engine is started - cold and at temp. Reads pressures for a few minutes, and readings in normal range. After a few minutes gauge goes to zero and stays there. Put a new sending unit in today. No change. Interestingly, the unit came with some...

How much pressure does it take to get the bypass piston to actually move ?? I've been chasing a low pressure at idle gremlin and I've read posts elsewhere where guys are using adjustable screws, shims, etc. to solve this issue and it makes no sense to me at all. The point of the bypass is to...

I should clarify We know that high oil pressure has no downsides, Low oil pressure has all down sides. Gamble on that for your own ( financial?) Reasons.

...a 2019 manufacture 5.7 crate engine. I got it new and installed it about a year ago into my 71 Charger. I finally went to fire it and no oil pressure. The engine ran for about seconds and died, I did this twice so about 30 seconds all in. Some pertinent info about the engine; Cam changed to...

Feel the oil filter now and you can compress it slightly. When priming the pressure will make the oil filter hard and not it won't compress any more. Also the drill will change sound and no go quite as fast when it makes oil pressure. unless you have a strong drill it won't change at all...

Redline gauges did my Superbird cluster 25 years ago and it still works just like it did the day I installed it. My oil pressure reads just slightly over 20 lbs at idle hot and 35 to 38 lbs hot above 1500 rpms. It's a standard pressure oil pump. I prefer that on a stock build, because there is...

Low oil pressure at idle. When I worked at the Buick dealer we had those issues with many of the older Buick built engines. The oil lights would flicker at idle hot. We had a zero pressure sender that wouldn't turn the light on until no pressure. It was used a lot on used cars. LOL

The 10 lbs oil pressure and flickering oil inspires no confidence over here.. I'd be checking the oil for shimmer and throwing a new HV pump at it. If not too late

how long did you run it ?

So, we have come full circle, if side clearance has no oil pressure related concerns here, what exactly is/was the problem with the side clearance mentioned in this motor, other than it was not the norm? Regardless, there does seem to be a solid consensus from my readings on side clearance/oil...

No dipstick on either one. Not surprising. Other manufacturers did away with dipsticks more than 10 years ago. Lubrication Chain driven pump assembly with continuously variable displacement vane type pressure stage and single gerotor type scavenge stage, 6 pressure activated piston cooling...

That is just not true. You have to put it in proper context. An example of high oil pressure is the added significant stress on the oil pump drive. For those that have experienced pump drive failure know what I am talking about. Again - as long as you have oil film additional oil pressure...

Alright, I tried looking in the forums for more info and apologize if a thread already exists on this, but have been stumped. The 340 in my car has 60+lbs of oil pressure on cold start and maintains about 35-50lbs on the highway, but low rpm and idle after warm it drops below 20lbs. No knocks or...

High volume pump. Motors are too expensive to FAFO experimenting with dangerously low oil pressure for no good reason.

YES I've had a bad Wix 51515, no oil pressure, car was fine with a different filter. I never fill filters, done thousands of oil changes. No need, waste of time and maybe spilling oil. And where do you fill it, right down the center hole? That's when the clean oil comes out, not where the oil...

If the lifter popped out, there goes all the oil pressure to pump up the other lifters. Take a look down in there.

I changed the oil and filter on my 440, recent build with a new pump, Wix filter. Started it up, no oil pressure. Scared the crap out of me, pulled the filter, pulled the pump. Couldn’t find anything wrong, got out another filter, half- filled it with oil, put it all back together, started up...

Yes of course they aren't contributing to thrust but they are bearings under load with no oil pressure during initial cranking just the same.

It could still be a lifter if the oil gallery ports have build-up. No oil pressure= tick. You did say it was used but we have no idea of the condition. Also after replacement you need to follow the same break in procedure as with a new camshaft. You may just need to run it faster to pump up...
