just got the motor in and runs good..but the oil psi goes for 40 down to 20 and back up...the oil pump is form tsp...it is a High flow they SAY...talked to the builder and he felt good about the motor.. and all the clearance...

WTF the motor is like 20mins old..LOl


any info would be helpful...going to put a manual gauge on it tomm.

 

Put a stock pump back in it..

 

i have a high flow from tsp, it works really good. i would look into the connection on the pressure sending unit and possibly put a new one in there. they've been know to go bad, fairly common. also my friends truck did this after the swap and i reached back there and wiggled it and it started reading.

 

i put a new one on when i put the motor in. the motor is all new top and bottom gaskets and everything..

 

What about the o-ring for the pump pickup tube, there are 2 different o-rings available, and one doesn't seal well. I believe that the o-rings are blue and red, and the red one is the one you want...hopefully someone can confirm or correct this info

*EDIT* but first I would check the connection to the oil pressure sender...

 

ill see what i can find out..thanks for the help

 

it was the damn o-ring....holding strong as hell......thank godddd

 

Cool deal, glad you got it fixed
