The build is a GO!

What bearings and oil pump did you end up with? Oil pressure?

I'm running a melling m316 oil pump with the clevite race bearings...whatever ones those are. I see about 40psi idle and 80 cruising. This is of course fresh delo 15w40 oil.

Awesome turn around time man! It takes longer to get a converter re stalled then Mike to r&r a motor and have it built by Custom Auto! Damn impressive for sure!

 

[mike diesel]

We will see what mine reads cold. I left it out side overnight to see how it starts.

 

[mike diesel]

Definitely not "cold" so not a very good test. Its been spring time here the last month straight.

Looks like I have about 80 psi oil pressure.

Not that it really matters but 160 gauge temp is actually 130-134*

[OregonDMAX]

Well shit I never noticed this but does everyone else's oil pressure gauge read to 120? Mine only reads to 80 what year did they start that
