Ok I will Get the flush and oil change done this weekend. thank you. I actually don't have any leaks as of right now I have taken care of them. But I have an oil gauge and Temp gauge on its way to install. So we will see if its the sensor or not also.

 

So I did the flush and installed new filter with Rotella 15W-40. Dropped the pan and cleaned all the crap out of it. I installed a oil pressure gauge to see my pressure.

This is what I got after running it about 5 mins:


Idle:



2000 RPM's:

 

Excellent, looks like your oil pump change was successful. You shouldn't have to think about bearings now you know more about oils to use.
......

 

Just a little info about the cork oil pan gaskets from Atlantic British, don't waste you money or time with them. I had one on for no wore than a month and it already had gotten hard and formed a leak. Just use high temp rtv.

 

Oil; pan use the right stuff , comes in cheese wizz can , don't plan on removing the pan afterwords

 

Well dude, according to the specs your in the money at 2k (30 - 40 psi @ 2400 warm engine). Glad to hear it's worked out and like the Glow Shift oil pressure gauge.

 

Yea I'm really glad I did not have to do the bearings. I have really been missing driving it. Its been a long year of working on this beast between work and life I have not had much time. I love the glow shift gauges, they look great. I will post a few pictures when I get them all installed. I added oil pressure, water temp and a voltage gauges. I added a switch to the voltage gauge so I can monitor both batteries.

Thank y'all for all your help.

 

Honestly changing shells isn't hard really, harder to get the pan down and out (not very). I don't think I could go without my dd hooptie for a year. We've had normal amounts of snow this season (@ 60" so far), gotta have it. Do most of tuning up in Spring/Summer months.
