i am really surprised that MM didn't find the problem!!!! was he aware of the oil pressure prob.?
yes, that was the reason we took it to them.
Thats unacceptable..whats wrong with Mike, anyway..shheesh...
When i ask that i should have also asked: "Is there anything your not telling us?" Sorry Mike, but thanks for your side of the story.

Its not the oil viscosity . Oil weight, or viscosity, refers to how thick or thin the oil is. The temperature requirements set for oil by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is 0 degrees F (low) and 210 degrees F (high). The oil will be stable to the high limit operating zone .Are you suggesting the oil is far exceeding 300 to 400 F ?
That's basically what I was thinking. I can't see the water passages having anything to do with low oil pressure. Especially at start up... It should be up at 80-90+ lbs. There would be no heat in the engine to worry about..
The whole thing makes no sense..

are you pushrod oiling? what lifters? is the block bushed? if so how big are the holes in the bushings? had a similiar prob. that I corrected,my mill was oiling way to much up top.I corrected It with a set of bushings with a.020 hole in the lifter.

we are using spray bars, i'm not sure what lifters, blocked is bushed and there are no holes in the bushings.
nice looking motor by the way

Goodson....what the hell are you doin taken that motor to Rutgers..... Hows Ernie and your Dad doing...been a while since I have seen you guys, are you going to Norwalk for the Classic? I see Jacobs is running the points...hit me up
Exactly...as far as i know rutgers does mainly chevy stuff, doesnt have any sort of machine shop of their own, they just send stuff out to be machined and screw stuff together.
I would never take an engine of that magnitude to somebody like that
69 Dart GTS A4 Silver All steel, flat factory hood, 3360race weight 418 BPE factory replacement headed stroker, 565 lift solid cam Best so far, low 10.30’s 1/4 1.41 best 60 foot 6.56 at 104.17
