Strange oil pressure problem

[jackndelphine]

Yea, sorry about that, I will have to take some pics tomorrow, and post them, oh but guess what else!!! I kinda never solved my problem, when I put that pressure releif valve back in, I guess it was ME that put it in wrong, yes, I had 80lbs of pressure and the truck didn't knock, but it also blew 2 oil filters off and shot oil all over the place. So, I had another engine with 40k on it and I changed it 2 weeks ago, it was a pain in the ass but it runs great and has about 45lbs of pressure. The only thing is that it is really hard starting when cold, the chock is working and adjusted properly but I have to pump the gas like hell to get it to start. I am going to look at that tomorrow, anyway I will try to take pics of the rig tomorrow and post them.

Talk to you guys later, Jack
