67 390FE Oil issues.
By Matt - 06/22/2004 10:58:21 PM; IP 68.79.119.191
I just rebuilt my first FE motor. I just installed a new mechanical oil pressure gauge and I am not getting the pressures I expected. I purchased a standard oil pump. I just replaced the stock pan and went with the Milidon stock replacement pan. I stuck with the same pickup. I just finished putting the top back together after finding out that the two angled oil galley plugs(press fit) blew out. It still doesn't have a whole lot of pressure but I have alot more than before I fixed this latest issue. I already replaced the oil plugs that are on the back of the motor because I had a leak back there. I am a rooky at this stuff but I enjoy it until I run into a problem I can't figure out. I was just reading that it might be necessary to add an extra quart of oil.
I put the edelbrock heads on with the adjustable rocker arms. The heads seem to tick to much. The temperatures are good. I just ordered a new pickup that was for the Milidon pan. Anybody got any sound advice?
This thread, so far...
