I would say your pressure check valve in the oil pump stuck. take it out and clean it. 7343720-0507121951a[1].jpg (152 downloads)

I would say your pressure check valve in the oil pump stuck. take it out and clean it. Do it now before running the motor again They are real easy to remove, if it won't slide out easily it is probally galled up or it has a very small piece of trash(silicone,gasket material, metal debris or?) in it holding the valve stuck in the pump top and not letting it bypass I'm asuming this a BB Roadrunner and not a later SB one Either way it needs checking Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

I just switched to the K&N HP-2004 (it has a nut attached to the "bottom" of the filter body, this is pretty awesome because I know I got the filter tight putting it on and I know I will be able to remove it no problem). The K&N has a much better method for securing the o-ring and the case is .021" thick compared to the WIX which is .017" thick. I think it is time you switch brand of filter. I am hoping this K&N will satisfy my needs because it was expensive. Cold my car idles with 60lbs of pressure and 20lbs hot.

It hasn't been swollen or stuck staight out for awhile. I'm thinking it might be broken. If you like drag racing, support your local track.
