Im avg like 10 lb in idle hot is that normal?

 

i think it should be around 20psi.
what all was involved with the rebuild?
new main bearings??

 

normal, and 50+ above 3000, but i don't remember exact numbers.

 

Everything,main resurface deck,new rods,pistons i mean everything but the crankshaft

 

I havent run the car yet just starting it up i rev to 2000k and i get like 40 lb im thinking cause of the new main and rings it will have low oil press,what do you think guys?

 

and you used plasti-gauge to check your bearing clearances?
new oil pump/housing? lubricated before installation?
rings aren't going to effect oil pressure. but the bearings will

 

I didnt assembled a shop did,and they bluprint the whole motor and cheked all the clearances im just scared i put alot of money on this project ,before this a "mechanic" "rebuild" it and i spun a bearing 3 weeks later im even scare to run the car....
And yes new oil pump and everything the car has literaly everything new but the crankshaft

 

Did you break the motor in yet? If not you need to. Sitting there and running it and reving it to 2k rpms is not doing it any favors. You need to break it in hard to get the rings to seat before your SOL and have to rebuild it again.

 

You're an idiot...glad I got that out of the way.

If on a fresh engine you have idled it at 2000 rpms for 20-30 minutes and let cool down followed by a fresh oil change....and you still have low oil pressure, I would check the pick up tube for blockage from bottom of the pan. If you have the proper clearance then check your rods and mains for spinning.

Report back.

 

Kindly tell me how I'm an idiot?

Telling him to break the motor in before the piston rings ware out the honing from letting it sit and idle with light revs for forever and a day is nothing more than advice based on my own personal f*ck ups.

After it has been started once and allowed to reach full temp from only idleing it needs to cool, then change the oil, then start it and go break it in, not start it and rev it a little bit in the driveway.

So I'd like to know how I'm an idiot...I'm waiting

 

Your idle time is all it needs...after that you can drive it normal, dyno it, beat it, auto cross it...whatever. You live in a world that thinks piston rings "seat" lololol....they don't, they shave down to meet the cylinder walls and that's it. The rings never "seat", they will always rotate the entire life of the engine.

Build more than 1 or 2 engines before giving advice.

 

So how long does it take for the piston rings to line up in your engines and cause compression leaks since they rotate?

Piston rings shave down to a degree, but they also smooth out the honing on the cylinder walls when they are seating. Yes I use the term seating like everyone else. Why, because its a general term that most people recognize.

So yea I live in a world where 98% of people use the term seating and only about 10% know the real meaning behind the buzz term. Welcome to reality. Not everyone has an expert e-mechanic degree like yourself.

 

Wow easy guys i do apprecciate your help,today i ran the car for like 20 to 25 minutes the car run great no more metal flakes or dust the oil press cold is like 20 psi and hot is like 10 to 15 psi and at 3k is at 50 psi,i havent run it hard yet havent passed the 4k mark,and about the arguing its ok i read and learn and doesnt mean im going to do everything everybody tells me,

Ps how much time till i can hit vtec?

 

yeah man bring it to the dyno and break it on the dyno after break in period change the oil and u should be good but ur tuner will tell u all of this

 

Long enough for sludge to build up from poor maintenance and coat everything in gunk.

 

pressure will be a bit determinate on the oil you're using. what oil you have in there?

 

im using now autozone brand oil 10w30 with a cheap oil filter,i dont buy cheap oil and filters but after the 2o minute oil change of oem oil and filter i decided to use cheap oil is that bad?i tought that almos all oils are the same since they are recycled
