Thread: 454 oil pressure problem

Thanks for all the input, I tried all of the sugestions but no help. Engine is at the machine shop and I should have the answer by next week. I will post the findings so maybe it can help someone else. I guess there is no such thing as a good deal.

Heard back from the machine shop and the problem was a presure valve and spring that had come apart in the oil pump. The bearings were all overheated but none had spun. Doing a complete rebuild .30 over with new pistons and crank. I bought a Eagle crank cheaper than it would be to ship mine to Phoenix to be turned
.10/.10 and shipped back, go figure. I should have a good running engine now hope to have it installed in two weeks.
