Oil pressure....

Oil pressure when warmed up and at idle (~800rpm)mixed with a few blips of the throttle

Apparently an excellent reading for this engine, so obviously the new oil pump is doing it's job well.

Showing no ill signs from last weekends drag racing either, so a tough little unit.

@robbie1674563 Don't get me started on cash for clunkers....that just seems so wasteful doesn't it. Hell, they should just rip the engine out (or let us rip them out!) for free and at least they'd get used, or people could learn on them, or they could get some kind of price or scrap value for them, instead of being all "Yea, let's be environmentally sound and write off these perfectly good engines that have already been made and been around for years"...........ARGGGG!

@robbie1674563 Hey no trouble, don't worry, wouldn't sit there bouncing it off the limiter - that would be a bit mental!

I did try some of the engine restore stuff to flush the tappets through but at the end of the day they were still a bit noisy - but fortunately it doesn't affect performance much, and when you're on the move you don't notice it.

There wasn't much in the way of sound deadening in this car and the engine was right up against the bulkhead so v. noisy in general!

Cheers!

find the motor we want and take the bastard their just going to ruin it anyways yeah cash for clunkers u freaking dumb retrded bastards perfectly good engines i would love to have yall just ruin them how retarded why not just sell them to people the engines instead of being idiots

im gonna bet ur oil pressure went up after restore its suppose to renew the bearings me and u should rob cash for clunkers im looking for a good 350 chevy engine right now 305 i dont care anything about 305 is pretty gutless when it comes to horsepower that oil pressure is excellent 80 pounds when u rev it im betting lucas will stop that ticking i use it and it does work for a fact it does everything they say on the bottle

[robbie1674563]

engines on cash for clunkers people could use flat ass ruined becuz of idiots that pisses me off bigtime i hope a rod comes through the dash on those idiots whats that squeaking noise they make when they knock i never understood that

Thinking about it, that 'engine damage revving in neutral' is almost as bad as all those people who go around screaming "you'll burn your valves up" running with no exhaust manifolds. I don't know how some of that stuff perpetuates!

@robbie1674563 Don't worry, it's not cold - that 'water' temp is actually oil temperature.

Secondly, you'll never hurt a warm engine engine revving it with no load - despite what you might read on here or people will tell you.

That ticking noise is nothing, just the usual chatter Rover V8's make after about 20 years of hard work - the hydraulic lifters get a bit tired :)
