| RE: Help! 427 Top Oiler low oil pressure problem (long |

I also am having oil pessure problems with my 428, but not like this one. Your oil pressure is normal for an idle, but low for cold oil or high revs. Things to check for....oil pump loose to block...oil pump pick-up cracked, loose or screen plugged with gasket sealer...oil pump relief piston stuck open, or spring broken.....pressed in oil gallery plugs working loose....rocker shaft stand loose(ones what pass oil)...filter plugged with debris from machine work, or gasket sealer...cam retaining plate loose(1 screw goes into oil gallery for distributer)
BUT...you have classic signs of a bad sender unit for the oil pressure gauge...these things tend to internally leak past the flexible diaphram and equalize the pressure on both sides....If it is a Ford sender unit, drill a small hole on the top of the beehive adjacent to the lug for the wiring and try driving the car...if oil pressure indicates normal again, replace sender unit.
Cam Bearing?...sorry, sounds weird, but I don't really know.
Block internal relief spring?....didn't know center oilers had them. |
