| Help! 427 Top Oiler low oil pressure problem (long |
| By John - 12/02/2000 2:11:11 AM; IP 24.112.127.112 |
I just rebuilt a '63 427. All the bearings, rings, and oil pump have been installed. At first start up , engine idled at 40 psi , then slowly dropped to 25 psi. Now i can only get oil pressure up to 27 psi. I am manually turning oil pump(with drill at 850 rpm's)and still only get 27 psi. Pulled motor out again and removed oil pan, and noticed oil dumping out from the last cam journal.Is this normal for excessive oil to be pouring out from there? Could my problem also be caused by the aux. oil relief valve located above the cam. I've replaced the oil relief piston and spring with new pieces from Ford Power Products, but still can't get any oil pressure above 27 psi. I've aslo have rechecked the main and cam bearings to see if any were damaged at start up, but everything looks good. Thanks, John
