Re: Low oil pressure solved
Ken, good find and a great thread/reminder. It goes further than a flathead, most if not all our trades people fall in to this "learning curve".
With out proper supervision and being an apprentice of sorts, if you don't know you made a mistake and learn from it you will keep making that mistake. As Sal said best, "mistakes happen, If it happens on a regular basis that's a different story". |

Re: Low oil pressure solved
FYI ALAN, because when I quote someone's post.... I normally type my response in bold so it does not appear as part of the quote.... that's not considered to be "YELLING" by most folks... YELLING WOULD NORMALLY BE CONSIDERED WHEN USING ALL CAPS, this could either be in BOLD or not in BOLD.

Re: Low oil pressure solved
A friend once said, the difference between an experienced and novice technician is the experienced one has alredy burned someone else's equipment.

Well, even at the "Big Three", there are Monday cars and Friday cars. Maybe the "apprentice" was on his way to get the tool to press that bushing into the block when someone stopped him to offer a roll of toilet paper or hand sanitizer at a "good price"... |

In the Ford engine rebuilding book it says every engine should get a oil pressure check--- before the pan is put on, a pressure pot is to be connected to the oil gallery, and oil dripping is to be monitored, --- everything should drip, but steady stream is a problem |

In this game of big dollar, non-essential toys, most businesses can only afford so many "come backs" before folks start going elsewhere. Let's face, no one really needs a high-dollar flathead. If that's your bread and butter, you better make sure people are getting what they pay for. I'm making a lot of assumptions as to which shop it is, but this is not the first time issues with quality control have been brought up. Last edited by Tim Ayers; 03-23-2020 at 07:50 AM. |

Re: Low oil pressure solved
And on top of lack of pride in the work or stress or what else it is...we have to deal with failing new parts...
Had a brand new oilpump push out the lower bushing due to the fact it had to little pressfit...thought the days of bad oilpumps was history... |

Re: Low oil pressure solved
LOL, or maybe he was on his way to the bathroom, and someone stopped him with TP and hand sanitizer telling him he may need these items because the dispensers were all empty, and as he was taking care of business, somebody pushed the button, and moved the assembly line forward ...

Re: Low oil pressure solved
Reminds me of one I was involved in.
I was working at a new car dealer in St.Paul. in 1966 the dealer in Minneapolis sent over a car to our dealership for me to find out why it had circulation but no oil pressure. They had tried oil pumps, rod bearings, relief valves filters, I don’t know what all, but they had given up. It was a three liter straight six pushrod engine. Brand new car, had not been sold yet. The first thing I did was pull the radiator and timing cover. I thought maybe the chain tensioner had been left out. It was in there. I watched the front while another guy turned on the key and pushed the starter button. It fired the first turn and shot a pint of oil under my work bench. It turned out there was no front main bearing insert on top of the crank! The factory had set the crank in without it. |
