Trying to get my rig going today so i can wheel for new years! Got oil pressure for a minute after i primed my new oil pump, going to try a few more times to see if that has been my problem. Cross your fingers!

Get it done for some wheelin!!!!

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #218 on:** Jan 01, 2011, 12:07:29 PM »

so whats the result?

runr-meech · « **Reply #219 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 08:02:37 AM »

got oil pressure for minute, then none. Repeated and had oil pressure for for a minute or so then no pressure. I'm thinking bad new oil pump..? Any other ideas?

X2 on the oil pump
Sorry to hear.

runr-meech · « **Reply #221 on:** Jan 03, 2011, 03:48:11 PM »

Well only way to find out is drain the oil and tear it down again, talked to Putney this morning and hes said it could only be a few different things and a bad oil pump is one of them. So oil is draining and i'll start at the bottom.

86bobbedtoy · « **Reply #224 on:** Jan 09, 2011, 09:09:26 PM »

good luck!

runr-meech · « **Reply #225 on:** Jan 14, 2011, 10:51:55 AM »

OH, im kicking myself!!!!! talked to Putney last night for awhile trying to find out why i have no oil pressure. When he says did you put back the bottom plug right inside the oil pan? I said what plug, i never took that plug out, he says i did. SH#T! all this time and all it was , was a little friggen plug! Well off to buy more oil and put her back together and hope i didn't screw up the top end.

runr-meech · « **Reply #226 on:** Jan 14, 2011, 05:20:13 PM »

Well , that was the problem. after ripping this thing apart three times its a stupid plug that i didnt even know was missing!running allright , off to get a new alt. and a new battery.

86bobbedtoy · « **Reply #227 on:** Jan 14, 2011, 05:42:33 PM »

well awesome, kinda, sucks you did all that.
hows she run?

runr-meech · « **Reply #228 on:** Jan 15, 2011, 09:41:15 AM »

runs good , alittle knock in the top but Putney said he would take care of it for me. Going to put a few more things on her and take her for a run.

86bobbedtoy · « **Reply #229 on:** Jan 15, 2011, 09:42:36 AM »

valve adj?

Dingman. · « **Reply #230 on:** Jan 15, 2011, 09:50:12 AM »

I think he said it had something to do with the cam

runr-meech · « **Reply #231 on:** Jan 15, 2011, 10:16:27 AM »

I think its one of my cam caps, but could be a valve adj.

missing oil galley plug inside the block? or you have a bad oil pressure sending unit.... Put a manual gauge on it and see what kind of pressures you are REALLY getting!

I figured...... at least you found it!

runr-meech · « **Reply #233 on:** Jan 19, 2011, 08:05:40 AM »

Well did a few tests at Tony's shop and discovered that i have a bad bearing in #1 cylinder, so its a rod or a main, so im just going to replace both of em.Hope this is it with this engine for a while!

86bobbedtoy · « **Reply #234 on:** Jan 19, 2011, 09:15:22 AM »

holly fu$k
do you always have bad luck,

just do all the mains and rods while you are there
