Looks like a lubrication problem to me. Sorry about that Mike. I would not put this engine together untill problem is solved. It will happen again whatever it is. Bring in some experts.
That is what I was wondering, I saw it sit at 0 psi at idle for a second or two when Mike brought it down, so there was definitely lack of lubrication.
Hard to make pressure when the pump gear has no teeth.
I think he is sourcing another block, and we are having a good machine shop locally here do all the work on that block. Should be purposefully built when it is done.
I wonder if this will be a future issue with LMMs. I would hate to see this starting to pop up on othere trucks. witht the gear coming apart or nut coming off whtever made the pump go south
I cant tell by the pic's how scared (depth) it is, but do you think the crank can be polished or does it have to be turned? Sorry Mike
Thanks chad...
Hey thats a good looking trailer, lol.
I have 2 LMM motors I am looking into right now, waiting to hear back on one soon then I will get it coming this way. Gotta get this thing up an running, Iv'e already made 2 truck payments without driving it
My theroy is I spun a main bad enough to create a problem for the oil pump. At first it was vise versa, but after talking about it and the location of the bearing, it looks like that may have been the case.
I had a pretty good noise with it when I was down at Pat and Kats party and on the way home oil pressure and everything felt fine, then after I rolled into vegas I lost oil press. Im pretty sure the knock was there all along, I knew I heard it from the get go.
Thanks for the best wishes guys, it will be soon and will be running again, man oh man I cant wait.....
