no oil to heads
<HR style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #d1d1e1; COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->
Ive got a 98 chevy 2500 5.7l had the motor spin bearings, block was trashed.
got a short block put my heads and crap on it. all is good but not getting oil to the heads,and theres clatter going on. valves have been adjusted,might need final adj., AND OIL. my oil pressure is about 50 to 60 when driving and bout 30 @ idle. so i wanna think the pump is working, Right? I used my old lifters. but didnt prime them. But i drove for a while b4 i realized no oil was reaching heads. plenty o time 2 prime them. Im hoping someone knows something that im missing. been working on this thing since the late 80's
(it seems like) and dont want to pull the pan if i dont have to. Oh yea dipstick reads in range, so dont want to add more oil. = think thats all. any input would be awsome.
Thanx, dirty.
