I disagree. Any monkey can slap parts together,it takes an individual with modicum of intelligence to look up and follow directions to a T.


Youve built so many engines yet you have to search the internetz for a simple low oil pressure issue.....LoL classic

 

K done with you ******* dumb ***** that don't have a clue. Btw I did figure out the problem. Not giving any useful info to you all though. All I had to do is call a honda engine builder. Not you fake *****.

 

So you are suggesting that bearing clearances being too tight cannot cause a low oil pressure situation at idle?


Was cleaning your pickup tube a bad idea?

Is it not possible for the o-ring in your pickup tube to be installed incorrectly and then have shitty oil pressure?


Sucks you act like such a little girl. You could probably learn how to do this the right way and never have this problem again. But no, you want to throw a fit and act like people don't know what they are talking about.

In the end, Plastigage is weak sauce and worthless to any machinest. You didn't measure anything with real tools. You didn't do it right.

Asking the community for a reference chart for what color = what size, AFTER YOUR BUILD IS DONE? Go figure you are having problems. Seems like this is going to be Par for the course for you.

Well, if your build is done and running like ****, thats on you then buddy. I hope you remember this conversation in 10k miles when your oil pressure gets real interesting and sparkly **** starts showing up in your oil.


I'll be looking for that thread....

 

Right. Makes sense when there is no oring in the pickup it's a Gasket. And normal engines can use std king bearings no problem unless you have the crank or block machined. And every machinist uses plastiguage to measure clearance. Sound real smart there. Good job at looking like an idiot

 

You build 800hp engines yet you have no idea what could be causing a drop in oil pressure and you don't seem to have a clue as to what engine oil weights are what.......

800whp engines..... You should be schooling us on how to maintain proper oil pressure in an engine. Not the other way around. Doesn't matter if it's a Honda or a SBC. Oil pressure is maintained the same way!

And you call us fake f#@ks...... imagine that!

We are mostly hobbyists and enthusiast. We don't get paid to spoon feed your pathetic ***! Why should we help your ignorant ***?

Did you know that these engines have 4 different bearing clearance specs between the 5 main bearing journals? Also, plastigage is for amateurs or domestic engines with sloppy bearing clearances?

Normal engines, those being domestic, non blueprinted, sloppy clearance V8 dinosaur engines right....F#@king idiot! There is a reason Honda engine builders use measuring tools that go into the 0.0001" and not rely on plasigauge... go back to your 800hp engines would ya!

 

I'm the idiot but a sbc don't use an oil control jet or balance shafts which I do know will cause the problem.. And you know what I come here for help and I get dumb asses like you talking. People like you shouldn't even be able to talk just because of this here prime example. Good job. Like I said I already figured it out.

 

I'm sure some other dumbass like me would have told you about the oil control orifice eventually. It is a fairly common issue with amateur builders. I chose not to help you because of your demeanor, you seemed like a self righteous ***** right from the get go! Most members on here are not going to waste their time helping you for free when you act like you have. Just saying!

Anywho, Best of luck with your builds

Cheers

 

No I don't believe that most won't help because they don't know. I stated what I have done and the response I got was to do the same thing again. Didn't help first why second? If you don't know just say it don't act like you do. That's all. Not hard just common sense

 

Man plasitgage is not the right way to measure anything. There actually are tools for that, and they give accurate results every time.


You are really acting out right now for basically no reason.


Ghost is among the most talented people out there doing anything and you are willing to just slander the guy for no damn reason. Machinists do not use plastigage. They don't. You cannot be serious.

O-ring, gaskets whatever. Its the same damn concept. Was the pickup cleaned, was the gasket/o-ring replaced. Thats all I was getting at.

Christ.


And the orifice that is being mentioned is like #16 on my list of suggestoins. We never got to that part of the discussion, because all of my "ignorant" suggestions were ruled out from square one without even a civil conversation. The first thing I said that provoked a tantrum in response was something to the affect of "if you didn't measure, you may want to at least consider it at this point" and then BOOM, you go off about how you measured everything and blah blah blah we are all stupid and ****.


Plastigage isn't used by a single quality machinist. I am positive of that. Nobody that is building engines, that is serious, uses that bullshit and expects and sort of quality results.

Ball End Micrometer, Inside Micrometer and a Dial Bore/Caliper gauge are the only way (by any machinists standards) to properly measure for bearings.

There are other ways people get the job done, but, this is THE way to do it right.

 

u have something bypassing pressure
