Subject: Re: Is this the point where.................... by jsup on 2008/4/5 22:31:42 Today's update.... Seems the first issue is that I'm getting oil up to the valves. I let the motor run for 30 consecutive sentence on a stopwatch and nothing. The mechanic that works on my DD only lives two blocks away, he builds motors for his cars, some get restored, some go to the track, so he is familiar with performance applications. He came over and pointed out that no oil was getting up top. He recommended changing the oil filter, maybe I got a bad one. Which I did, I filled it with oil, MMO, and put on the new filter. $4 out the window, but wtf....... Anyway, new filter, same thing. I took the distributor out today and will try to pump up the lifters and get oil flowing with the primer tool, which I have to order since I can't get it locally. I am traveling for the next couple days to the other coast, so perhaps when I get home the tool will be here. Based on the results of the that test, will determine where I go next. If I'm not seeing oil flowing, nothing else really matters. I am showing between 60-80 pounds oil pressure when it fires and runs. |
