not again, no oil pressure! Well some of you may remember, my oil pump died when i did my TR 224 install (it died because i nicked it with the timing chain when turning the motor over, MY fault). Fair enough, I fixed it with a new Katech oil pump.
Fast forward 2 weeks and 3 oil changes. I take it to the dyno today. It made 396 rwhp 396 rwtq. The dyno operator commented on how good the oil pressure looked. I drive it off the dyno, and notice i have NO oil pressure.
I pulled the filter off, started it for a few seconds, nothing. It has no oil pressure.
I drained the oil, looks fine, no metal, etc.
Your thoughts please. Bad luck or ??? Could the blue seal have worked its way loose? WTF!!!!!
If it wasn't for bad luck, i'd have none at all, right?!
No racing tomorrow.
