I had been noticing my oil pressure gauge would drop to zero when under load (trailer/car and a bed full of stuff). I'd back off and it would come back up. So I took it in. They dropped the pan and found the oil pickup tube and screen full of crap. Here's a pic.

Then the rod bearings were inspected. Not pretty. This is from a '99 Dodge Ram with the 318cid and 98,234 miles. Here are the bearings picture, you can see the one in the top of the picture is worn in the classic pattern.
Soooo, don't spend all your money on your 'teener-change your oil in your daily driver too. Paul Attached image(s)

Make sure you repair any sites of dirt entry into that engine.....Looks like you had some crap( i.e. dirt ) go through those bearings. Check your intake hoses, oil filler spout, etc. I've seen this lots of times in my cust. engines, usually from a little dirt.
p.s., don't use Fram Just my 2 cents Thanks Chris |
