Default Re: Low oil pressure solved

here is another low/no oil pressure problem. 221 A block, totally rebuilt but little to no oil pressure! did the same check pump-oil relief spring, pulled the timing cover and gear and found the problem the builder forgot the oil gallery plug behind the timing gear!!!! went to another engine in storage a pulled plug and put it in, 50 lbs cold, 40 lbs hot at 1500 rpm, 20 lbs at idle. my one concern is wear on bearings but I pulled front main and it looked good
