Doc- Restarted the engine this am after pouring oil over the valve train and galley.Ran for 5 mins at 2000rpm. Still no oil at rockers. Guage was showing 60psi @ 2000rpm. My questions are: 1)If I remove the plugs and rocker shaft and free spin the engine with starter will it bring (have enough rpms) to bring oil up to the rocker shaft tower hole assuming the problem is not in the passage or rear cam bearing?? If so, I could tell whether its the shaft or or below it. 2) The rear cam bearing has only one hole - correct?? I know the hole was lined up and the passage was open. The cam was not tight when installed. The block was hot tanked and was cleaned 3 times including running the passages before assembly. When I spinned the engine last week with the plugs out it built up 40psi of pressure. 3) What do suggest at this point?? usclstaffingnet@sprintmail.com |

When I rebuilt my slant 6 some years ago I spun engine with starter before putting head on and oil came out of hole in back of block that goes to cylinder head. Should work for you too. I think there is supposed to be TWO holes in the cam bearing. One in and one out. Perhaps you missed the second hole and don't have the bearing in correctly. cfield@ll.net |
