How are you finding that your oil pressure is low? With a mechanical gauge that is threaded in or are you using the gauge on the dash? Does the engine knock? What kind of machine work was done to the engine and were the tolerances checked with plastigauge?

 

Yes I have a Gauge routed threw on the "same" spot as the stock sinsor, it had a pulg in it. It is between the pass. side motor mount. Checked to make sure it flowed threw with a pice of wire.

Im not geting any flow...any..except threw the bypass...were it flows what It think it good.

block was bored .020 over hot tanked head had P&P done and has a RV 261 "C" cam

So you have the oil galley plug in the front but are all of them in? There is another one in the rear (but you would be leaking on the floor) and another one inside the oil pan next to the crank. I think you should pull the pan to do three things 1. Check tolerances 2. Check to make sure that bottom plug is in 3. Check the oil pickup to make sure gasket is sealing, bolts are tight and the tube is not cracked. If all looks good, maybe think of packing the oil pump.

 

is there only thows 3 plugs im woundering if that plug in the pan im geting a plasigauge tonight and goin threw it agter school

any more ideas?

 

what type of gauge are you running? Stock or aftermarket? Electric or mechanical.

 

Its a cheep sun pro but thats not the problem there is no flow any were...

any ideas?

If the pump is pumping...and there are no blockages...then there must be a plug gone..even if i have a loose motor...there will be oil preasure..

so it must eather be that plug in the pain or maby a bad pick up...pump should be good..its new.. I just dont know what elce it could be...

 

Are you sure the sender is grounded? I literally just had this problem with a electric sunpro gauge last weekend. Try a mechanical gauge just to rule it out. Is there any oil even getting to the top of the engine?

 

.....thats what im saying.....you pull the gauge...no flow..gauge is good...

 

Did you forget to install the sump pick up? ;-)

 

^^^agree
Sounds like sump pick up or bottom oil galley plug. I missed the bottom plug when I did my rebuild a few years ago and helped a guy on this forum a couple months ago who did the same thing.

That plug is a sneaky bastard.

 

Hate to ask such a stupidly obvious question, but just to check, did you put oil in?

 

HAHAHA yes i did i beleave i have 4 qt and 12 oz of ZINC treatment...

Geting ready to put some pants on and to pull it..


Also I have put the clutch in wrong some how when the clutch is pushed you here a kinda of clunk clunk clunk... i manual i have was not descriptive at all...and i didnt rember how it came out. any help?

Thank you guy!

Well guys thanks a lot It was that "sneeky basturd" and she is running like a top...with the excption that it is deiseling when i shut it off some times.. any ideas?

Thank you

I dont know if it has a vac leak or if i need to re jet my 32/36 Weber? Any help

Thanks

GJ

 

jets should be fine as long as it wasn't jetted for a v8 or something. If it was on there already or you baught a webber kit for a toyota they're set up pretty close to right out of the box. Depending on what 32/36 you have (dgv/dgav/ect) you can get a idle circuit cut off solenoid. Had one on my dgav and it fixed the "occasional diesling" problem.

here's one

might find cheaper elsewhere but I knew they had them.

 

But if it is diesling then its runing lean isnt it? and some thing needs to be changed doesnt it?

Thank you for the link thow I will keep that in mind

Too lean/too hot will cause it. The solenoid will shut off the idle circuit when you turn the key off so the engine can't suck fuel to combust in the overheated combustion chamber. Could be too lean, could be running your timeing too advanced, or both.
Timeing around 8° then try this if you haven't already

Thnak you for the link!

make sure you dont have the oil pan pick-up tube port blocked off or you atleast have a gasket there
