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 |

You can inspect the cam without splitting the case halves.
That ridge in your picture is the topic of many threads. The Tangerine racing pressure relief valve was specifically designed to avoid that problem. Others have honed it down to eliminate sticking |

Is there much point in inspecting the cam I guess I will need to split the case to change my bearings....Is there a chance there not toast? |
