What is the stock (factory) bypass pressure? And would i just shim the spring for more? Not saying this one's bad, just wondering.

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
I checked and there is no modification for 90% oil filter.
Follow my logic. If the pump pumps oil when I turn it by hand, and the cam and gear turn when I hold them with a wrench and turn the...

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
Yes I had thought of that too, but unless it happened to stop at precisely the right place, the picture I posted is current and the gear is peened to the shaft. If it had spun, it would be unlikely...

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
An 8ba only has a pressure relief on the pump. I did get to wondering if the plug at the front threaded itself out?(this can't be,,,it was TIGHT!)

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
I never had a pushrod. If I look down the pushrod hole I can see the cam lobe. Remember, this is an 8ba block. The pushrod bushing is installed.

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
Why then would it have had oil pressure for the first half hour of run time? I had someone else install the cam bearings. I have no clue how it was "clocked". I did make sure before I installed the...

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
Oil pump clearances.
Between gear faces and cap without gasket - 0.0015
Gasket thickness - 0.0065
Total clearance = about 0.008
Ya, plenty of clearance, but I'm not sure how to make it...

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
Is melling m-19 worth putting in? I kept the stock pump cause some said it would be better than a new unit... Definitely not opposed to putting a new one in. The Speedway unit is cheap, but you...

The oil pump works when i turn it by hand in oil. I cannot make the cam gear spin. Maybe it was just a fluke??? I'm bamfoozled!

I am finding no problems whatsoever. Is it possible the oil pump had lost prime? What about bypass spring malfunction? The pickup screen was not blocked. The crank has all the gallery plugs still...

Pulled the pan. Then the pump. Disassembled the oil pump and everything was fine there, which is bad news for me. I was hoping a new pump and we'd be going again. My engine hoist is borrowed out but...

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
I doubt oil was circulating, because I removed the gauge from the back of the block and no oil came out when I cranked. But maybe I don't understand oil flow in these things.
I don't have time...

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
Yes I will pull the pan. I used the ford oil pump. All the clearances checked out. On the cam, it is a Schneider 248F. Reputable seller. Can't imagine a problem there, but we will see.
