I have oil pressure again. Maybe I never lost it. I have 50 PSI at 65 MPH
(3600 RPM), though only 10 PSI or so at hot idle.
In my quest for oil pressure I have:
- Replaced the pump gears and relief spring
- Re-ground the crankshaft
- Replaced the main and rod bearings
The problem, it seems, was that my oil pressure sensor was in the wrong
place. I had it plumbed into the rocker oil feed, where it measured only 25
PSI. I now have a 3/8" NPT fitting driven into the oil filter bracket where
I get a much higher reading. Who knows if any of the engine rebuild helped.
I would like to thank all of the list members who helped to answer my oil
delivery questions and got me to this point.
Doug
