I have found no one wants to know about warranty when it means shipping to Australia I May have found the answer when the started from cold it takes 4 to 5 seconds for the oil to start pumping out the lifters if i open up the restrictors to speed up the process my oil pressure starts to drop...

1969 Superbee Rallye dash, was removed, cleaned, new gage backgrounds, painted needles. All lamps removed, contact areas cleaned, all new lamps installed. Before all this, everything worked, all 4 gages, even the fuel gage worked! Now--- only voltage gage works, the other 3 dead. All lights...

Yea... I did. Running through a host of other minor issues like no tach, no temp and no oil pressure readings. The 5v converter is gone TU on me I think.

Leaks way too much, No that's not going to work. And if it leaks that much it's probably the rear main, because there is oil pressure there. Did you tighten the oil pan bolts?

Here's a rebuild kit with both springs and everything else to rebuild a standard volume pump, kinda pricey though. I'm a fan of high volume/standard pressure pumps. If you've ever primed an engine, a high pressure pump will ask a lot of your drill. Plus no risk of snapping an intermediate shaft...

How screwed am I? Should I pull the engine right away or just the head? I am certain I caught this right away, it couldn't have run more than 45 seconds with coolant in the oil but that's long enough for it to circulate and get in all my nice new bearings. Experience only here please is a flush...

B Better too much oil pressure than not.....oil pressure is cheaper than bearing replacement. The GTX HIGH VOLUME PUMP AND 10W-30 MOBIL1: Cold=80 psi; hot @1200rpm=60 psi; hot @ 4000rpm=75 psi. Zero wear on distributor bushing or gear. BOB RENTON

Isn't the ICE32 a propane derived refrigerant?.....or a combination of several flammable gases? These gases are flammable where as the original R12 and R134A are not. What are the operating pressures and expected evaporator temperature, what is the condenser pressure, what oil is used, is...

No, my bad. I was thinking of another lifter thread. Also I believe you're right , you should have more pressure. Take the pump off and check it out

Only 1, a Ford 302 in a 1970 Falcon. Oil pump seized on my way to high school. Drove it to school and back with no oil pressure, about 35 miles roundtrip. It was getting sluggish, but still running when I pulled back in the driveway. All the bearings were trashed and the motor was full of...

OMG, has it been ages since I’ve posted! That doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy working on the Fury, just been pushing along at a slow and steady pace and limiting my weekly spending. All that being said there’s been a ton of progress, including: * Got a hydraulic T/O bearing from Ram * Got...

Ok, strange experience yesterday and would like to share to see what this group thinks. About the car/engine: It's a 400ci in a '67 Coronet 440. Engine oil was a little on the old side. Oil pres. gage working and tested. I know nothing about the engine/car, just purchased about 3 weeks ago...

Oil pressure is very simple. It's flow volume minus internal leaks minus viscosity. At idle the volume can not be increased by a stiffer spring or shimming the spring unless the by pass is open at idle. Which is not the case at 20psi. The internal leaks can't be changed at this point w/o engine...

Doug, This is a great explanation. Simplified and easy to understand. Thanks for this.

The low oil pressure switch is a great way to help prevent engine damage. No/low oil pressure, no fuel.

I think this may all stem from a possible problem at the bulkhead or fusible link as I just lost power to the oil pressure idiot light... With key on it no longer illuminates.

To add a bit about startup: With a flat tappet cam, I would use old, weak springs for break it. Yes, it might seem like a pain to have to change them after break in, but no where near as much of a pain as it is to fix a wiped cam. Even 300# open spring pressure is too much for break in. An...

All fluids that have been opened has a life. All engine and transmission seals are designed to be run warm and with clean fluid to keep them supple and sealing. Old oil contaminates turn sludgy, The main seals get hard and leak, Transmission seals no longer seal. Hoses and belts harden and lose...

Hello! I have been trying to diagnose this noise before embarking on removing the lifters. Link to Video open to all recommendations or ideas before I start pulling lifters/ deeper disassembly. This is my first old school engine, so take it easy on me. Symptoms: 1. First time I noticed this...

i did a leak down. It was the same as other cylinders. I'm going to pull a valve spring off and look at the seal I want to check the spring pressure too I never did when I bought the heads and forget what they were if they told me. then check the intake gasket. if the oil ring is bad would the...
