Need help 427 low oil pressure ?

[priobe]

Rick,

Yes, I have verified that by unscrewing the oil filter and priming the pump with a drill to see where the oil comes out.


I have not had a chance to put the motor back together but I am pretty confident that the oil relief valve in the back of the motor is the culprit. I will definitly post my readings when the motor is back together.

I am waiting for some parts for the tranny (speedogear) to put everything back together. I figured this would be a good time to install the internal gear to match my rear gear ratio.

If anyone is have a problem with low oil pressure I highly recommend do this procedure which I described. It work like a champ and did not make a mess like I thought it would.
