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 |

Then the only explanations can be:
A - Oil pump not putting out significant pressure - not likely failure, even severely worn pumps will put out SOME. B - Oil relief valve stuck open or spring missing C - Oil pickup leaking (sucking air) - was there foam in the oil filter? D - Missing oil galley plug or hole in case. If I recall from my case oil passage inspections, there is at least one oil galley plug somewhere in the case that is put in place to seal between two passages, then a second oil galley plug is put in after the first one (not positive on that, but it rings a bell) Did you have all of the galley plugs removed, and re-installed? E - Pressure gauge does not work when installed in port. |
