BlowinUp54B's Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Well, after two days of work, and 4 hours of sleep its together. I am waiting 6 hours before I put any pressure on the oil pan for the A.T.V Black to dry up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Must be the moon!! Congrats, got any pics?? ATV or RTV?? LOL... Make sure you crank it with no spark plugs/and disconnected fuel injectors to put some good oil pressure through before you attempt to fire it up if it's a fresh build. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustPaus_88TSi Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Unplug the injectors also. No need to contaminate your fourth oil change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 if this don't fly you need to stop and rethink a few things,, this is not sending a rocket to the moon ,it's simply puting a few parts together and makeing them work as a team , off hand i'd say your miles away from ever starting this sort of job with out learning a lot more first some say the best way to learn is jump in and make the effort ,the rest will sort them selves out,, that may be true but it'l take a lot of time and money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87quest-TSI Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Well more then likely it's the rear main. Other then that there the oil galley plug on the back side if the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minagera Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Man Greg, this engine build is kicking your arse. Probably your rear main, which means dropping your oil pain, and taking off the rear main. Going to be a bit of a pain, but do able. I wish you luck man, give us a call if you have a problem...

Dave-O Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Was this engine torn down to the block and rebuilt completely, or is it just a "fix what's broken" build? Sounds like a lot of gasket and seal failures that can be either chalked up to old age or deterioration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlowinUp54B's Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Yeah, it was torn down to the block. then it turned into a fix whats broken build. =[ Still learning.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thing was stripped down, sent to the machine shop, hot tanked, and then given back to Greg. Machine work took a while and someone got too impatient to have it built for him.

raytech Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 actually you CAN do it. Frustration hits us all. I don't care how much you have worked on a single thing, there is always a curve or obstacle. In the end it is always worth it. BUT it is always nice to work next to someone.

Matt, if you wanna fix it lmk a price, or I'll give you a brand new AEM UEGO.. I am giving up right now, I can't do it myself. ok some one turn'd on the lights, now lets think for a moment,, isn't this the block that was missing the frt oil galley plug, well some machine shops remove the plugs in order to clean out the oil galleys but some times they forget to reinstall them,, check the block for other galley plugs, i bet you find one missing , a long time ago i was rebuilding a 360 for a B350 dodge van, the machine shop for got to install the internal oil galley plug on the drivers side, i didn't check to see that all were in place and once i fire'd the engine up it had terribley low oil pressure, now the engine is a full size'd van is not a fun thing to r/r, luckly i was able to remove dist and freeze out plug and install the oil galley plug with the engine all togather , after that i always made it a point to tell the machine shop if you remove a plug you replace a plug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clean the hole and plug with brake cleaner. Get some good thread sealant and put on the threads. Put that thing in, let it seat, and get your oil pressure.
