OH MY GOD my oil pressure is going to kill me i have no idea
my motor from a fresh rebuild always had bad oil pressure..i just replaced the oil pump and put on the filter relocator hung the filter on the fender...i also took the oil pan off because it was leaking in the rear....put the pan back on no leaks ran the motor today oil pressure was better 14 at idle and 40 down the road....took the jeep through the woods a little suddenly pressure barely would go abover 10 pounds...i got it back to the shop pulled it in shut it off and there is a really loud gargling noise coming from the pan...it was pretty loud and slowly go softer until it stopped a good 2-3 minutes after shut down.... is this my pick up sucking to the pan???? thats all i can think of im ready to throw my motor in a dumpster
oh and more more thing to add...when i pulled the oil pump housing off the spring came out just finebut the other little piece was stuck in there...i tried slamming it on the ground and was still stuck in there....i thought this would give me an increase in oil pressure when it gets stuck like that???
If you plunger gets stuck at the bottom you will have to great a oil pressure. If it gets stuck in the middle (more common) you will have very low oil pressure. I would suspect you may have a cracked pickup tube and a scored oil filter adaptor (If its new just remove the plunger and clean). You should also be able to see the plunger from where the oil filter screws on. You can use a small screwdriver to pry it back a 1/4" and then it should slide out. If it doesnt well that may have been the issue.
well i took off the oil filter adapter and put on the one from bull tear with the relocator kit...the plunger was jammed in there pretty good and i left it in the old piece and replaced it with a new spring and plunger in the new piece...my oil pressure when cold is around 55 but it jumps around...motor runs really smooth and the oil pressure with be 55 then 40 then 60 and so forth....so tell me whats my first step here....can i replace the pickup tube easily??? if i remember correctly to spin it it hits the motor mount??? should i use some thread sealer when putting it on??? im at the end here and i just done know where to start and whats the gargling noise?? its defiently not the draining sound when the oil drains back in the pan...
there is nothing leaking from anywhere except there was a small drop from the oil pan which is why i pulled the pan and did the new pump and relocator at the same time
