RobG Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 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. Rob G Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Hi Rob, with cold oil you should get 50psi easy. What will happen when the oil is steaming. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
