Been out there a few hours, everything is tight. So it appears it the main seal. My oil pressure gauge is showing at 75-80 when warm. Well, buy my dream car after all these years and its goinf to have to sit for a while. Gotta love it! LoL

That sounds like detonation to me. Maybe post up what you've done about that.

I cut the shafts into pieces and removed the rockers. Everything else looked great, so reinstalled with new lifters and shafts with original rockers. Set lash. After break in, car idles and runs great but has hellacious (I think) valvetrain noise with any load applied. No way it's detonation...

open it just enough to get oil squirting out while idling or with someone cranking starter as it starts then tighten before u get sprayed with oil

...in towards the timing gears and look through the galley plug hole in the back of the engine, you can see that you most definitely forgot to put the plug in! The cost of a new gasket now is almost priceless compared to the frustration of trying to figure out why there is no oil pressure later on.

Check to see if if a lifter popped out. If a rocker arm breaks, and I've broken a few, a tappet can be tossed out of it's bore and all oil pressure is lost.

I saw that...what I see at idle tells me no way that is the real problem. Thin oil, bad parts, lack of oil changes maybe. 5.7 may have lower pressure with 5-20 at idle. But so many make it to 200k miles so who really knows.

...see oil dash light stay lit after start up but would go away. But now oil light stays lit. Put mechanical oil gauge on and see no oil pressure. Replaced oil pump with Rockauto Mellings oil pump. Checked that distributor drive was spinning before installing oil pump, which I could feel...

I guess the oil pressure gauge decided to work again. No reason - it worked, then it didn't work, and now it works again... Tomorrow will be a different story, I'm sure. This is our first time out on a street run, but also the first time we've had a full tank of fuel. The gauge isn't reading...

So, when I bought the car, I was told the engine was rebuilt. Don't know if its true or not as the guy lied to me on a bunch of things. Maybe his version of rebuilt was paint it and make it look new. I changed the pump and pickup tube as I figured it was an easy and fairly cheap way to see if he...

Well my car arrived yesterday and I am becoming a little bit disappointed in it's condition. Lot of oil coming from around the filter/pump area, which was not as bad the weekend I bought it. I plan to clean it up and do an oil change (the current filter says it was done 5/23. I am swapping to a...

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...

Just to make sure, did you change anything else previously? (Engine swap, Trans rebuild? other/different governor, rear axle ratio?) To know exactly what is going on you should measure the Line pressure and governor pressure to see if they are in specifications? Mostly, if the original governor...

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
