Oil pressure loss.

[gvare001]

Do you lose oil pressure when a HG blows? Before a pulled the head off, the oil pressure gauge wasn't going nowhere. The HG was blowned B/E 1 and 2.

I'm thinking that the only way that could happen would be a large amount of coolant in the oil. Other than that ... there aren't any oil passages under pressure in that location. The opposite corner, yeah. You'd have to have a pretty wide open hole someplace, cracked pick-up tube, something blocking the pick-up, spun bearing, bad gauge/sender?... etc. to effect oil pressure like you described.

Just as an example: let's say you had a cracked turbo oil feed line. You wouldn't notice an oil pressure drop till you really loaded up the engine RPM's. Reason being that crack isn't as large as the passages/bearing(s) slop the oil normally goes through .. until, that is, you've raised the oil pressure to a point that the restrictions at the end of the passages (bearings) block flow enough that the cracked line becomes a better exit. ... result is oil pressure drop. Get off the throttle pressure goes back up.

There was no coolant in the oil, I guess I'll see what happens when I fire her right back up, if I can only get that HG from Cindy.

FYI Cindy and James are on vacation till the middle of the month.

You can't be serious! So I paid an extra $60 in shipping and I won't even have a chance of gettin the damn thing till august?

That's what I was told. I ordered a set of Magnecor's and I was told the third week of July. I ordered them about a week ago. I know... it sucks, but they have to take vacations too.... :(

Well instead of gettin pissed at smashing stuff with wrenches later tonight I guess I'll clean up the engine bay, put in new 6X9's, sand the hood with the blip, polish and wax the car, and maybe redo some paint and wiring.

[gvare001]

I've been doing the same thing, just doing stuff around the car until I get the HG. By the way I dind't know they were on vacation, so I guess I'll just take a chill pill.

Ok so I coulnd't wait any longer, so I went to nearest Dodge dealership and ordered the head gasket, and somehow the guy ordered HG 2005 and 2006, I was just trying to see which one would take shorter time to get to me, but somehow he figured that I wanted both. Anyhow, I pickup both HG's this morning, and now questions, and more questions. Should I go with the 2005 or the 2006, the 2005 leaves some passages open and still covers the CD's. I'm not sure what to do, the one thing I don't like about the 2006 is that it erodes the deck surface on the front CD hole.

Ok so I reassembled everything back, the motor had oil pressure by the way, but it was running like crap, so I did a compression check, and cyl#1 had zero pressure, at that point I was cursing hell, but I decided to pull everything apart again, and what do I discover, here it is;

Thats brutal but I know how you feel. Approximatly 3 times.

Always do a compression test first before dissembling the engine.
