• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

VS cam project almost finished, a couple of questions

Upload to photobucket, then copy the IMG code and paste it here.

Unsure about the check-valve, but that could very easily cause it.

Along with the oil filter being dry, I'd start taking stuff apart.
 


if the filter was dry, and nothing came out when you took the sensor out, you indeed have 0 oil psi.

that spring and rod just maybe in backwards.
 


Oh man, you don't really think it would be toast do you? I mean, it was running smoothly, and it has been on maybe a minute cumulatively at idle. The valve was definitely in backwards, I wish I had known that intense had that picture. I suppose I am looking at oil pump damage huh?
 
Cumulatively less than a min you may still have a chance. Install it cottectly, fill up oil filter before install.....and say a little prayer. May luck out but maybe not.....not gonna know until you try.
 
if it only ran for a minute and no revving the engine it maybe ok. maybe. fix that valve, then take the plugs out and crank it for 15 to 20 seconds, then take the oil filter off to see if oil has gotten to it. if the filters got oil crank it a bunch more cause the engine is really dry.

then fire her up.
 
I think they want to see if the pump fills the filter to prove it has primed. Any other situation then yes fill the filter first.
 


i always fill a filter when i can. surprised he put it on dry my self.

but in this case it will prove its pumping oil in a short amount of engine cranking.
 


Well, I pulled the neck off, the valve looks okay, but I don't have the shim between the spring and the valve that the intense photo shows. Is this piece absolutely essential?
