New problem
Hi all, The oil pressure on this was 40 psi. Then go to 10 long story short
Last time it went back for the spring he said oil pressure if fine,
Well I notice a puff of smoke the other day,when I started from cold start, the lifters were making noise oil pressure goes to 40 then back to 20 come to a stop goes to 0 then 10,
I changed the copper tubing on the gauge I thought it was bent ,anyway put a nylon on same pressure,I get in the car today started up 40 psi lifter noise not bad put you can here it,go for a ride noise goes away I'm doing 55-60 the oil pressure gauge floating around 20 no lifter noise now,I checked the oil 3 times I seen pieces that look like Crome 1st time for that car is not using oil,
So I guess I'll call the builder mon It runs fine but something not right,I thought I heard a slight grinding noise from the bottom not sure if it has anything to do with it very faint when cold.
What do you guys think
Thanks Steve
