Nothing pic worthy, just messed with some wiring to trying to find out why the headunit isn't getting power and then POR15'ed some more spots
Really hoping this is the solution to the no oil pressure, we primed it over the weekend and then started it. Started off at 40 then went to 80 and dropped to 0 again, pulled off the front and the oil pump O ring just kind of falls out. So hoping that maybe it isn't getting the suction to get the oil pressure, otherwise it sounds like pulling the motor to check and see if the spring in the rear of the block fell out when the junkyard or whoever else was going through it........
Well luckily for everyone it is not going to be a dong ring, able to get oil pressure and almost getting too much. Hahaha Also was able to get the backup camera wires run, which was actually much more trouble than it sounded like. 2 major hurdles is my buddy finishing off the exhaust and then not liking the upper coolant hose, so trying to get those ironed out. Was really hoping to have it ready to go for Sunday's Pizza Power Tour but don't think that'll be happening
A radiator with a passenger side upper hose nipple would be nice. Otherwise a steel tube crossing behind the radiator, painted teal would fit the bill.
BTR has a very good description of which o-ring to use on the different pick up tubes. I've read it 25 times and I'm still confused. If the old one fell off, then there's your sign.
It's stupid difficult to figure out when the motor is in the car. But if it's out on a stand, then it's painfully obvious - if you peel off slivers of the o-ring when installing the pickup, then you need the smaller o-ring and if the pickup falls into the pump with no resistance, then you need the thicker o-ring.
And I hate to ask, but why would anyone what that on their weiner..........................................ever? (SMH)
