Is anyone else getting bored with oil pressure problems? If there is anyone out there that wants to try to help with another oil pressure problem, I will be grateful.


304---
just put new main bearings in (oversize)


Started the engine and got very high oil pressure then the relief valve let loose and it dropped to about nothing, messed with the relief valve spring(not a good Idea), tried it again still no pressure at all. bought new gears--- specs are all good, no pressure. bought new timing chain cover, new gears and new spring/ plunger. started and still no oil pressure. It isn't the pressure gauge because I have a mechanical one hooked up. What am I doing wrong? could my pick up tube be too close to the bottom of the oil pan?

Please help I'm losing what little bit of faith I had in AMC engines.
Thanks a lot!
