Ok i have a 98 gtp and its a new block with my stock pistons new bearings xpz cam heads and alotta machined work on the block line boring and all that.. well just got a call and he said car started up and ran 10 secs and it never primed so he hooked up a oil pressure gauge and none whatsoever .. so what now any ideas as to the reason why its not priming ? ?

Oil galley plugs put back in it after it was cleaned? That was my issue...
03-25-2011
Not sure hopefully he checked that out . do you think the motors trashed yet ?

10 sec no load, It MIGHT be okay. These engines die quick with no oil pressure.
Was the filter adapter together wrong? Spring in first, then cup of plunger over spring, gasket and filter adapter. Ive seen people say to fill the pump with vasoline aswell. Ive never tried that though

Well he said 10 secs and then went and installed a gauge and turned on again and no pressure says hes gonna look at spring relief or somethn.. can that b accesed without removing engine?
03-25-2011
Ouch, Isnt looking promissing. Yeah the engine doesnt need yanked to access

He said relief valve looked good and he paid the shop for new galley plugs and freeze plugs.. says hes gonna pull plugs and drop oil in there and try to get it too prime ??, i just dont get it

All is good whew.. almost 70 psi oil pressure at idle.. and nice and quiet at idle no knockn or grinding just a nice lope.. which he says his stock m5 lopes harder lol xpz supposed to b pretty lopey aint they ?
03-25-2011
Pretty lopey; yes.
Depends on what your idle is set at too...turn it down to about 700 or so.
03-25-2011
Thats what i told him. Lol i said if its not to lopey just means one hell of a sleeper.... headn to miami now to put on a new ps pump bc the brand new one from AZ is leaking
03-25-2011
35 psi at idle after warmup good or bad ? He says normal.
03-25-2011
For a big cam...that's plenty...I had about 20. LOL Granted mine is still plenty bigger than the XPZ
03-25-2011
what the rpm at for idle???
a little higer idle at say 800 should be around 40ish most likely.
03-25-2011
Not too sure yet i havent made it there yet lol.. but that was one hell of a scare for sure..
03-25-2011
Glad to hear it all worked out
