What oil pump are you running?

I had this problem but not nearly as drastic as yours but just switched to 15-40 and it is great now.

Id throw in a quart of Lucas and let er rip as long as you stay around 10 psi per 1,000 rpm.

Ok Well I tore the bitch down yesterday at work and this is what I found. Every counter-sunk bolt that holds the front cover of the oil pump was hand tight. Like not even tight enough to let my snapon ratchet, ratchet. When I was clearancing the pump to the cover I had it apart. and when I assembled it to test fit it I put the bolts in but failed to tighten them down.:ba ng:

I haven't gotten the car back together today so we will see how it fairs Monday. I will bet money that this was my problem and that when the motor got hot the gap in the cover increases enough for me to loose the pressure but it wasn't that enough of a gap that it couldn't build pressure.

Im just so upset at myself for something like that slip by. Im gonna switch back down to 5-30, remove the restrictor and see what happens.

Its a Mehling HP/HV pump.

**** happens man. It's good you were smart and tore it down before something bad happened. You should have killer pressure now.

Thats what Im banking on. I took the 20-50 back but Oriley's doesn't carry it non-synthetic in 5-30 or 15-40.

Thanks for all the suggestions boys. Hopefully I wont need anymore after I get it all back together.

Niiice I did the same thing today when I fixed my tranny issue I was having. Thought I might of killed the solenoids in the vb but it turned out to be a wiring issue!

Love it when it's easy!
