double check valve lash, maybe?

You did use a new oil pump, right?

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #3 on:** Jul 21, 2006, 03:44:37 PM »

your best bet is 2 get a oil p-gauge and see what your pressuer is . take out the sender and screw in the p-gauge hose/gauge
also did U fill the oil pump up with grease ? 2 prime it

well it has a new oil pump. the vavle lash is set corectly and I am going to try to get a p-gauge

It's possible that your oil pressure gauge isn't working. I think mine is busted. I used to have a normal gauge cluster and the oil light never came on at all, so I figured I had good oil pressure. Then I switched to an SR5 style cluster and the oil pressure needle just barely moved from zero at like 4000 rpm, and now it stopped moving all together, so I think my gauge is bad. I believe there is a way to test the gauge, and I think it's by grounding the oil pressure sender wire to the frame or something, not totally sure.

You have the correct rod/main bearings for your crank?

yotakid88 · « **Reply #7 on:** Jul 23, 2006, 07:23:55 AM »

yes I have the correct rod/main barrings. and I also think that the gauge in the dash is busted.

knocking's not good. when you started it up was the knocking immedite? did you break in your cam yet? if so have you driven it around for 500 miles changed the oil? typically a KNOCK! is a shot bearing

My old motor was knocking and this is what I found on the #3 connecting rod journal.

thats purrdy

Did you just bearing this block, or was the crank miked and possibly ground?

What I'm getting at is, if the crank was out of tolerance, and you threw standard size bearings in it...

ya good piont

hay yodkid how about a little more info like how did You rebuild it?
Did you use a micromiter or gauge strips was the block cleaned/ wet the barrings and so on . ( more info the better)

well the problem has been nerrowed down and figured out and the vavles just need to be adjusted agen but I will tell every one the facts about the motor. It was hot tanked and bored out to .30 over and dected by my couson's machineing class (the teacher has been building motors for over 30 years and he does race motors now). then once it was brought home my dad and I put in the crank and pistons.(my dad is ase seritfyed and has built meny a motor in his day). then I finished the rest of it off by the book. the cam I a loow to mid range. the crank has the std size barrings. and the crank was in emiculent condition so we put it in.

hay did you use new rockers ? for the new cam ? please tell me yes

yotakid88 · « **Reply #15 on:** Jul 25, 2006, 06:44:58 AM »

no the ones that I have are like new.

Stinky · « **Reply #16 on:** Aug 09, 2006, 05:39:46 AM »

the knock...if it isnt really loud, but barely audible, then its just piston slap....does it do it mostly when cold n rite around idle...then thats all it is...i kno a guy who has been tinkerin with toys since they first came over here n he knows his

....not a biggie....BUT if it is VERY audible, like with the windows UP, then u got a bad rod bearing, wrist pin, wrist pin bearing....unbalanced crank.......a few things

yotakid88 · « **Reply #17 on:** Aug 13, 2006, 07:00:53 AM »

yeah we figured it out like a cuple weeks ago its the wrist pin bussing on the fourth cylinder. it got mechined out just a little to much.

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #18 on:** Aug 13, 2006, 07:02:03 AM »
