402 oil pressure drop/noise
We just installed a fairly recent rebuilt 402 that i bought from a friend. Its a 1970 high performance 2 bolt with oval heads and a solid luniti cam. At first the motor ran perfect for a few weeks but now when engine runs at 190 degrees the oil pressure drops to almost zero at idle and there is a engine knock. Im wondering if it could be a crank bearing? Thanks for any help.
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
