Q: on 02 apr 2004 222829 gmt max340@aol.compost max340 wrote oil is pumped up to the back end of the block where the sending unit monitors pressure. it then goes to the lifter galleys. the lifter galleys get oil to the main bearings and the rocker shafts get oil from the mains via the cam bearings. imo youll almost have to disassemble the engien to find the clog or missing plug. however if you pull the intermediate shaft and run the oil pump with a primer shaft and drill you could dump the oil and use kerosene to flush the engine. this may get rid of your problem but it may not. there is no easy fix here. max life liberty and the pursuit of any jackass that threatens it. embellished usnavy slogan i owe you a beer son ;- thanks for the idea i dont understand why i didnt think of that brain freeze or something .. maby spring fever it was 75 today.. thanks again hugo z hacknbush the other professor uhtbmunpxaohfu@lnubb.pbz .
