News: After connecting the 2 hoses of the oil radiator, and bleeding what air I could, I managed to get a pressure of 30 psi at 2000 rpm on my drill. This seems very correct to me. I get this pressure after about ten seconds. The resistance on the drill is not very high (I thought I read that it...

I added 4 liters of oil, still nothing...it only comes out through the intercooler connection. I'm going to remove the relief valve and try again... I wonder if an air leak at the feet of the rocker arm shaft (deformation / very malleable aluminum), the oil circulating there, could be the...

Are you talking about this paper gasket ? (photo) I remember putting a light touch of hylomar to fix it in place, under the car, maybe it moved :confused: To be sure, I might fill the sump with another 4 liters to reach this seal level...before removing the sump again. But i can not understand...

i clean the sump (mud and water...) the filter, and new gasket. New oil filter with oil inside and tightened by hand.

No coolant yet...i will put a photo of the oil coming out from the oil cooler plate, it's oil mixed with microbubbles

Hi, Going forward with my rebuild (new cam and lifters) i'm stuck with my oil pump. I checked clearance and gasket thickness before setting. I tried to prime with an electric drill...without success. i have pressure on the oil cooler exit (i put a bypass valve) so i imagine the sump filter is...

News: when i open my bypass on oil cooler exit, i have oil coming out , emulsified oil... that means that there's an issue with oil ways ? oil can't exit from the pump? and something else i can't explain: no oil out at all from the pressure sender hole ! and no oil in the rockers . My head...

Good oil level...but pressure only in the oil cooler pipe...i put a bypass valve on it ...still no oil pressure in the block :rolleyes:

I'm ashamed...i use a 13mm socket instead a 12 mm (i was sure it was a 12mm...), so now the drill really crank the pump...and full of oil squirts from one of the 2 cooler pipe, probably the excess of oil (4 liters in excess) . Tomorrow i will get the good oil level and try to prime the pump...

I put 2 more liters , checked again the pump bolts; put some more oil in the cooler pipes (pictures)...and nothing ! Do i have an air gap somewhere after the pump ? Could i have an issue with the rocker arms ? If the oil is blocked somewhere, i should have resistance with the drill, i don't...

I bought a hydraulic gauge to check precisely the pressure...but still have to prime the pump before...

I already fill the filter before...

the sump plunger gasket may have slipped during assembly ? I checked the gears clearance before setting the pump ... Don't know what is the issue ...

I did it, and i Put 2 more oil liters in the sump, i fill the 2 radiator pipes...and 1 minute drill (clockwise)...nothing :( I will put again 2 more liters , too be sure the oil level in the sump is higher than the pump (gravity can help) ...before removing it...

Hi, I don't succeed to prime my pump with a drill, even with the 2 pipes oil cooler full of oil . I checked the pump before, it was in the tolerance...i did not put jelley in the pump. i think to put 2 mre oil liters in the engine to help priming. does it make sense ?

I found that, it's to fix a bracket...

Hello, my front timing and pulleys are back in, but I can't remember exactly how many bolts, I haven't lost any but I have one of the holes in the lower right cover free... is there a bolt coming here?
