Search results for query: no oil pressure

Thank you very much. This is a great response, informative and to the point. Many times I’ve posed a question and no one answers or this post gets in a tail spin and goes off the rails. I am reading the “How to build big-inch mopar small block book” and it mentioned about upgrading the oil pump...

I been up late researching on everything that has came to mind. The most recent thing that i have been looking up is perhaps my lack of a Oil Pump gasket is causing my oil pressure to not be what it use to be and not providing enough pressure to keep my lifters pumped up at higher RPM. At least...

I've only owned 3 5.7's so not exactly a representative sample - but the '04 pickup is pushing 200k and still shows middle of gauge pressure, whatever that is (it's a pre-MDS engine). The '12 Charger R/T (MDS, oh no! :) ) is at 110k miles and indicates around 42-43psi at idle to this day. I've...

Race engines use oil. No way of checking the level is a recipe for disaster. Personally don’t care how much is in the engine itself. But I am picky about pan level. 7qts is safe. 8qts won’t slow it down. 6qts can bounce the gage when getting after the brakes hard. To get there the engine and...

Nope, on 2 engines feeding the turbos had no effect on psi.

The 318 I rebuilt for my ‘79 B100 project will not start. I’ll list specs, then diagnostics I’ve done. I'm going to err on the side of too much info. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks. ENGINE SPECS Original block and crank: machined Sealed Power 5024MA Main Bearings ARP Main Studs Mancini...

If u see my above post with pictures it seems that might be the reason cause if I go WOT it shifts bang on ? And the article is about when using an aftermarket cable

Well my buddy came over to help me get the engine started he was the starter man, while I was giving it a squirt of fuel ,started was going well, 180 temp. Started at 70 psi oil pressure, then dropped to 62psi,letting it run at 2k for break-in, but 18 minutes in just stopped, no noise, no smoke...

When I first bought the car I was hunting down a no oil pressure problem. I checked the pump (seemed fine) and then drained the oil and it came out slow. So I dropped the pan and found this wrapped around the pick up tube.

Adding shims lowers the pressure. Removing them increases it. If the steering functions fine, the angle shouldn't be an issue. You could put spacers behind the mounting points of the box to square it up. Many others have done that very thing.

There are millions of factory engineered vehicles with roller lifters. The big block Mopar was never fitted with them. ALL factory LA and Magnum series roller engines had taller lifter bosses that supported the lifters better. They had improved oiling to accommodate the longer/taller lifter...

I would like to know the actual failure rate of flat tappet camshafts if that could actually be compiled. I know of several car guys that have never lost a cam. Most of them have not built many engines and theirs have mostly been fairly mild engines. I lost 2 Comp Cams in a row in 2006. This...

The next week, I installed a new 100 psi. oil-filled mechanical gauge. I swapped the Fram filter for a new Wix filter, half filled with oil. With my wife again turning the engine over with the starter, I spun the oil pump with my drill motor. The oil pressure pumped right up to 75 psi. and...

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...

The plot thickens. After cleaning off the rh head, I backed the hold down hardware off and rotated the shaft. NO CHANGE! From my research, having the 15* offset is correct. These shafts along, with the double holes, there is no offset. I don't see anything ugly up on the head, like metal...

So tell me how the shaft gets oil with no hole in the top of the shaft? Inquiring minds want to know. Kim

Did you perhaps Connect to "Batt+" FROM the Alternator along the way? Instead of connecting to fuse block 12V "Hot in Run" circuit? If so, that's gonna send AMPS over Volts, & Will cook a wire.

Let me try to put a finer point on it. I assume you know what valve float is, is that correct? It is simply when the force of the valve train (mass x acceleration) is greater than the force of the valve spring. Essentially, the lifter loses contact with the cam lobe around max lift and then...

You did not have the problem when you took it apart. There is your clue. Something is being overlooked.

Replaced oil sender on my winter beater 95 Wrangler. The guage pegged on high, no strange noises besides the normal strange noises. It literally took longer to go get a new sender than actually replacing it. 30 minutes to go to local Napa, <5 minutes to change it. Oil pressure on guage back to...
