Re: Persistent oil starvation small Chevy HELP!

What are the temps of the oil doing? Do u have a gauge. From your description as u run it longer the oil pressure drops. What's the measurement from bottom of pickup to bottom of pan???

Re: Filters , restrictions and a bypass......

A bypass has no business on a race only engine period. An internal filter bypass has no business on a race only engine. A store bought stock canister filter has its issues also. Why would you want unfiltered oil being directed to your bearings during your racing pass??? If you don't think that bypas...

Re: Alky carb issue. Signal

Meehan, what size is your original hole above the front jets? I'm assuming it's .076. If so how does a 95 holley jet (.118 drill) and a .076 hole equal .156 jet?? You run a powervalve with this??

Re: Rear main seal test BBC

Standard rotation. I came to the conclusion the seals were too long based on what happened to the last one. It deformed and the silicon pulled away from the metal backing causing the leak. I installed the new seal without crank and sure enough it ovaled it by the parting lines so I trimmed it until ...

I have the engine at about 45 deg angle with 10 quarts of oil in the pan submerging the rear seal area. I primed it with a priming tool for 20 min while I turned the c...
