Oil pressure on half engine


Recommended Posts

I got my engine in pieces in many cardboard boxes.

I have built up the block with the old pistons but new main and end bearings.

Bores and crankshaft seem ok, just to see if it will fire up before a serious rebuild.

 

I have installed the oil pump, seals and sump etc so is now oil tight.

I fitted a socket to the oil pump drive shaft and with a slow anti clockwise turn get 50 pounds oil pressure easy.

Oil spurts out rocker feed and squeaks around the camshaft bearings.

 

So, is this a good sign I would get 50 pounds at tickover ?

Hope so.
