oil pump not priming #974437 04/16/11 05:12 PM 04/16/11 05:12 PM

I took the gauge off to confirm the galley was filling to no avail. I removed the engine and confirmed the pump is working, and reseated/sealed my pickup tube. I am at a loss. Any suggestions? Also, I installed a cup plug under the cap near the pump to be sure that oil would go through the filter during assembly, but my filter is not even getting oil.

[/quote put new dry filter on, like napa one with out valve in it, you will feel it fill and full prime on drill motor, it will freewheel,then slower,then huge resistance once full prime. also check your prime tool is engauging pump right MOPAR OR NO CAR

I usually pack the pumps with vaseline, but either way there should be pressure in system after abit of priming, there seems to be another problem. Maybe pump to cap there's oil bleeding by/ blockage or something of that sort. Is the engine still out of vehicle?

You would have to have major issue to not have oil squirting out of the block almost immediately. Once you have oil at the filter then you install the filter and check for oil pressure at the cylinder heads or the back of the block.

I tried back priming from the oil filter and tried priming with no result. If it helps, the priming rod has about 5-6 inches of bubbly oil on it when I am done. I don't even have 1/2 lift, but the other 1/2 is nitroused.

I turned it 4 full revolutions during priming attempts. Apparently, I think I may have to tear down and look at the block again. When the block returned from the hot tank, I spent alot of time cleaning out the galleys and passages with brushes. I tested the pump with a drill out of the vehicle in a oil container and it worked well, so I know the pump works. Lets say I did miss a plug. I assume it would be caused by a plug between the pump and the filter which only leaves the one that can be accessed through the vertical orafice directly under the sending unit, correct?

I spun the pump clockwise with my 1/2" drill and quickly produced 75 PSI of oil pressure on a mechanical guage I connected to the motor. Did you have a gasket installed between the pump and the rear bearing cap? You stated that you noticed bubbles in the oil when you pulled the pre-oil tool out of the pump. Sounds like your pump is pulling air on the suction side of the pump somewhere. Most likely place is at the rear main cap. Also the pickup tube may have a crack in it. Just some things to check..

As you know it gets driven up the main oil vertical passage from the pump in the rear saddle under the main cap & it needs to b a certain distance up in the block & b between the 2 horizontle "out" passages to the filter & there's a slight recess there for it to seat. You have oil in the pan/pump works/you can feel it catching it's prime w the drill (CW). Sumpin's blocking the flow between pump and bottom horizontle out gallery as the filter is not even getting anything. EDIT take off the sending unit & stick a wire straight down in & see how much depth you have and have a helper shine a light into the lower horizontle passage & see if you see light looking down from the sending unit Last edited by RapidRobert; 04/17/11 04:37 PM. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I would also take the pump apart if all else checks out, I have heard horror stories of the pump full of shavings out of the box. cny25421@centurytel.net 70 Duster Turbo Charged 79 Lil Red Express Bonded Locksmith

Is there in fact a gasket that seats between the pump and the cap, and is there an o-ring that seats on the shaft? If so, then this would be the culpret. Also, to confirm, I have cup plugs installed under the cam retainer(X2). The internal plug by the oil pump drive, the 2 rear external plugs, the plug under the oil filter, and the cap plug under the rear main. If there are more than that then they are all in.

I don't remember the factory installing a gasket between the pump and the cap , but someone mentioned it above so I think the aftermarket deemed one necessary at some point , can't answer the o ring on the shaft either but that doesn't jog anything in my memory either . It has to be on the pickup side, it must be pulling air which is why it will not prime. Maybe the pickup tube ofthe pump housing is cracked ? Did you have the pump in the oil during your bucket test ?

Someone here mentioned that there is a ridge to stop the plug at some point. How deep should it really be? And would this prevent oil flow? Last edited by siggie30; 04/19/11 09:48 AM.

If that picture is accurate it sounds like you don't have the plug in far enough and the oil is not going past the main cap and the pump is just dumping the oil back into the pan thru relief valve It would appear .

Thanks Robert. To add insult to injury, after the sensor was reinstalled, the oil filter started to spew oil, so I think the adapter fitting is not tight or the interior plug needs attention. I am sure the plug is there, but an easy fix comparatively. I don't even have 1/2 lift, but the other 1/2 is nitroused.

Poured in five quarts and it won't pressurize (turning clockwise) Removed the oil filter and adapter and found it bone dry. Stuck a rod down the sending unit hole and hit the plug right where it's supposed to be. I double checked to make sure all galley plugs were installed when I got the block back, so I'm certain that's not the problem. Reusing this pump from my 340. Looked brand new and worked fine in the old motor. Running a Kevko pan and pickup. Pick-up depth is right where is supposed to be. Looking like I need to drop the pan to see what's going on. -Jim I can fix it... my old man is a television repairman. He's got the ultimate set of tools... I can fix it. Currently Mopar-less

It was made from a big block intermediate shaft and the diameter is not reduced at the base like it is on a SB shaft. It's not dropping into the pump drive. I've got a couple SB shafts I can use to make a new one. Stay tuned. -Jim I can fix it... my old man is a television repairman. He's got the ultimate set of tools... I can fix it.

Dropped the pan and reinstalled the pump. Problem solved. -Jim I can fix it... my old man is a television repairman. He's got the ultimate set of tools... I can fix it. Currently Mopar-less
