Thread: Oil pressure problem

Tweet

this engine needs to be COMPLETELY disassembled to make sure everything is 100% correctly machined/sized/installed correctly---a plan for just changing the oil pan while might be the cause still leaves hundreds of possible combinations for mistakes to go unnoticed and eventually will cause a complete disaster from continuing to run it without finding the cause--------


We have tried to relate to him what the possibilities could be for this to happen and he seems to be mostly doing a dance around with your blessing------------

Jerry, I don't see where I've offered any blessing, nor have I offered any comment on the problem other than to say that Easterner has commented back to both you and Pat, saying "Thanks for your help", and offered that he's got some steps in mind that he hopes might rectify his problem. My point is that he's not asked for anything else, other than a bit of time to check things out and try what he believes might be a solution. In my mind that's a reasonable approach, but I'll yield to you and Pat to solve his problem.

well i under stand he is going to put a pan on .in my brain i have about five or more engines banging around that i am building now at my shop the list one big chief engine max all out effort 632. another 632 drag race pro II heads .a bbc489solid roller engine hot street . street strip bbc496. a.bbc 589. bbc548 blower engine . a ford roots blower engine with the boss iron block 9.500 deck svo main 430cid . 3 sets of dart heads 360.345.345.old set of pro stock 861 bowtie heads i am shure i missing something...yep a tall 10.200 deck 427 with a 4.3/8 crank . a 454 9800 deck race engine to max bore and stroke low cr run on street pump fuel, so if i abit slow or takes me alonger to added to a post two thing s he can do listen to what i say use it if he likes or not

I put the new pan on today and that seems to have solved the problem. At idle the pressure stays at 45 psi and when you accelerate the pressure goes to 55 - 60 psi and stays there. I'll take it to the track this weekend and see what happens. I don't have the know how or the money at this time to have someone completely tear down my engine to check it out, so hopefully their are no other issues with it that will cause a serious problem down the road. Thank you again for all the expert advise.
