UPDATE:

Ok after cursing for about 2 hours and battling the removal of the toploader tranny, I think I figured out the low oil pressure problem. Apparently my Engine builder installed the pressure relief valve incorrectly in the back of the block.

This is what I found after removing the allen plug that is located above the camshaft was the spring then plunger in the block.

I know it should be spring 1st the plunger with the stem facing toward the allen plug.

Now since I have the oil pump in hand which I verified is a HV pump shoul I replace it with Precision oil pump and high pressure spring?


The oil old pump looks perfect.

I just figured since it is off should replace it.


What are your thoughts?
