Search results for query: no oil pressure

Yes. 3 psi. I looked up a Holley switch and it says 5 psi. Wiring should be C- fuel pump, NC- starter relay/solenoid, NO- key run position. I have seen other ones that look like a plastic oil pressure switch for a light but have 3 spade terminals. If my memory is right (CRS) we never had much...

I got the engine primed, however it still does not have oil pressure. I added a mechanical gauge to be sure and am getting no pressure although there is a little oil in the line (like its trying). I think the pump is doing its thing but I suspect that the pickup tube is not seated or the O...

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...

No it should not change your timing. Just helps get rid of pressure and oil blow by.

Well, its used for systems with low or no pressure.

While trying to chase down an extremely loud, intermittent valvetrain tick, I found my rocker assembly in the following condition. I'm no expert, but it looks like one issue is lack of oil, judging by the scuff marks. Not sure if it happened when the engine was built or recent. If current, that...

Here's a good view of the principle of operation That's what I would do

Here is a video I took after I drove it around for about 10min. Car also drives fine and smooth and no white smoke. Here is the oil pressure at cold start up.

This is an interesting perspective. I have been thinking about this subject and have dealt with oil pressure lower than I'd prefer, despite a fresh rebuild with bearing clearances. I used a standard oil pump when I built the engine in 2022. I didn't like the pressure but read about changing the...

Hey all trying to figure this issue out before I tear the motor back apart I'm getting oil out of the gauge port port but not enough to read any pressure. I'm using lucas sae30 break in oil with zddp not sure if that oil is too thick? I checked the oil pump and it seems fine. As a last...

So this past weekend I changed the pump for a stock volume and pressure pump and pick up tube. Cold start it goes to 40psi and hit idel it goes to 5psi. Barley registers on the factory gauge. Any ideas? Motor seems to run fine and no blue smoke from the exhaust. Bad bearing or oil galley plug?

How long have you had the car? What is “This”? Oil level has nothing to do with voltage. Your car has an aftermarket volt meter ? You likely have a choke, or choke adjustment issue. Nothing to do with oil pressure. Could be a lot of things. Mostly tune up related. Unlikely unrelated to...

the 69 and earlier cars do not have a low pressure cut out switch. The compressor does have it's own "pump" and I believe that is for oiling the crank, the top end (pistons & rods) will not be lubricated unless the system is charged. Mine was a completely rebuilt unit by an experienced shop and...

I will second the GJ site. I have epoxy in my parking area and we use the room for parties too. It easily cleans up. My shop floor is clear sealed concrete but, spilled gasoline will soften and raise hell with the sealer. Sparks from cutting torches and welding will/can mar any floor. Even with...

Ok, I very carefully installed my wire set-up on my 727, making sure the hole on the carb lever was exactly where it should be (I took the special mopar bouchillion throttle plate to double check with.) I tested several arms (Different lengths) down on the throttle lever on the 727. I got a...

Is it safe for the oil filter to run a no bypass oiling system with a high pressure high volume big block pump?

New ARP bolts for the block. Block is fresh and clean. No oil was put in until last night when I went to prime. Ran up to 80 psi quickly but was a long time to get oil to the rockers. Finally it came in as I was getting worried. That is making me think that the right bank has a hole somewhere...

here is a quick video of a cold start and run for a minute to show oil pressure, no smoke and hear the cam.

From my experience, use a Wix filter, not Fram. From an earlier post, if a pushrod bends and a lifter pops out of its bore (highly unlikely), you would have NO oil pressure, not just low.

Hey all, so yesterday I was tearing apart my 383 from 69. Since it lost oil pressure last year and while I was tearing it down, I found that some of the very outer edges of the cam lobes were pretty jagged but all the lifters looked in good shape and the lobes themselves looked fine as well. I...
