    new 347 lost all oil pressure

    Well I got the plug back in, just got to close her up and I should be good, after looking at the camshaft retention plate was wondering why they don't make them with 2 tabs on them to help keep the plugs in, if my MIG welder was working I would fab one up and not have to worry about it.

    new 347 lost all oil pressure

    Oh, when I pulled my timing cover off the front part of the basket stuck in the timing cover to pan rail, do you think it would work again with some sealant where it come apart.

    new 347 lost all oil pressure

    I am using the stock gauge at this time, will buy a mechanical one Monday after I cash my check, what would cause the plug to pop out, just crankcase pressure, or oil pressure pushing it out, I did get on it the second before I lost pressure.

    new 347 lost all oil pressure

    That's some helpful info on the oil galley plugs, I would much rather pull my accessories than the pan, may do that since I would need to pull most of them to lift it any how, did you have any pressure at your gauge, mine doesn't even try to move.

    new 347 lost all oil pressure

    I'm gonna go ahead and pull a valve cover to see better and then try to see if it will prime with a drill and my old dizzy.

    new 347 lost all oil pressure

    Yeah, it seems odd that a pump could do that too, everything is brand new so I'm pretty sure it isn't clogged, I was actually cruising in 2nd or 3rd and stomped for a split second, long enough for the tires to turn over and let out the second it broke loose and instantly the pressure was gone...

    Cylinder Head Choices

    I actually have looked at those, them vs. the trickflow 185 cnc'd are my main choices. When a head carries that carb eo # do they have egr port and smog holes or what, I have noticed some heads carry a different carb eo #.

    Tuners in Arkansas

    Has anyone ever had any experience with Bolt on Performance in Little Rock, they do dyno runs full data logging and are sct dealers so I will probably be paying them a visit pretty soon. Also I have heard that some tuners will recommend certain mafs, like C&L or Pro-M, should I contact them...

    Tuners in Arkansas

    Does anyone know of any tuners in Arkansas, may be willing to go to Oklahoma or Missouri if its close enough, I'm about an hour from LittleRock and will be needing a tuner in about 2 months. Never dealt with having a tune done so I don't know much about it, do they just reprogram the computer or...

    Anderson n-51hr

    I've been looking for a soundclip for that cam for a while now and have only found one but it's a dyno run, and it's in an older mazda, low compression turboed 302. I am buying this cam regardless, I would just like to hear a soundclip of it, been planning on building my engine for 2 years...
