Default Re: Low oil pressure in ZL-1

You did put the relief valve in pointing the right way?

OK which is the right way??..looked to be only one way but ......


also noticed when we were running the oil pump with a drill it never seemed to load up when it caught prime..Usually they really need some power to turn..this one never seems to prime and load the drill..maybe bad oil pump??

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes.

As stated previously,especially with cold oil the drill should kick back on you. If you aren't feeling that there there obviously is a problem. One thing you can do listen carefully because sometimes you will hear a gurgling or dripping sound where the oil pressure is being bled off. Are you running a roller cam in this motor? What type of lifter are you running??

If you would like to PM me I can carry you through this a little further. You also are more than welcome to call me at my shop (973)-267-4364.
