Well as the title says is all gone tits up.
I started my rebuilt engine yesterday and broke in the cam, today was supposed to be the first drive. I decided to check the actual oil pressure so I pulled the pressure switch and connected my gauge. There was no pressure even at 2k rpm. The pump is working but there is no pressure. Obviously the oil must be going somewhere, if the high pressure relief plunger is stuck open would this explain what's happening? Appreciate some help |

The oil follows this path:
Oil pickup into pump, out of pump to oil filter bracket, out of oil filter into case where the oil pressure sensor is. From there it can go two ways: dump back to sump if oil pressure relief valve is open, OR go to oil cooler, THEN back into engine to the bearings. Here is a diagram of the system if you ignore the filter sandwich plate: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i366.photobucket.com-10819-1430073758.1.jpg) If the oil pressure sender (switch) port is dry, then none of the engine got oil. Is the filter full? |
