So....
My jeep was running bad. 79 cj-5, 304v8.
I changed the oil and filter used sythetic blend 10w30, cleaned the plugs.
Wasnt getting gas - solved that.
NOW IT HAS NO OIL PRESSURE!!!!! no oil even going to the gauge.
-I checked the pump - looks ok - nicks on the fins but I dont think
it would cause absolutely no pressure.
-I put the old filter back on - still nothing.
-I checked the pickup and screen, seems ok- blew through it just fine!
There was very little oil in the new filter when I pulled it off so it doesnt seem
to be pushing through
HELP.
This is what I am going to try since I have nothing else. Getting a rebuild
kit for the pump and see if thos nicks and scratches are causing it.
Using non synthetic oil to see if it just isnt sealing.
Someone on Jeepforum told me about this site!!! NICE SITE!!
He suggested a new Oil Filter Adapter w/o the bypass.
What are the chances of that actually being my problem.
I checked my plunger and it was really hard to move, but it seemed
to be pressed all the way in.
Sorry for so much in one post, but I wanted to get all the info done.
I need to move in 2 weeks and I really dont want to tow it to the new house!!
Let me know if you have any thoughts.
Thanks
