megasquirt questions for 10:1 motor

[Orangetona]

You would think the motor would make all kinds of noise with 2psi

what?

New or rebuilt or low miles or better then yours oil pump in the works with all this? Inspect the pickup tube etc also.

absolutely when I get this core motor I might even make a quick run stand before I tear it apart to check and see if it is good. Or if anyone knows where to buy a good new oil pump I will just do that

[Ondonti]

I would take it apart and at least see whats up. Make sure its really your problem. Removing the screws that hold it together can be terrible. Mine was obvious when I measured the side clearances with a feeler gauge.

You would think the motor would be basically dead from running on 2psi of oil pressure. Atleast making noise or something.

Well 3.0s obviously don't need oil really, or they would have designed some method of keeping it in.

Lmao! You have a point there.

well i am goingto just buy a core motor that i will rebuild but even that motor will get tore apart and checked.

and the motor in the car now only makes noise at high load low rpm when driving i have to down shift because of the racket before the lose of power so anymore i dont let it get to the racket making point to save the motor as long as i can.

plus another reason for the core motor is i want the non egr intake and exhaust

[paduster]

well got everything for the rebuild i think hoping that new core motor has a good oil pump new rod and main bearings, full gasket kit, 10:1 pistons and chrome rings from summit racing.

on a good note i am buying a ms1 off 87turbodance off his old 3.0 car. so i am sure i could set it up on my 3.0 i have now and get a good tune and then build the 10:1 but still not sure if my motor will make it that far or if the motor is in good shape. i am beginning to think it is down on power now too but that could be cause the oil pressure finally killing the motor. at least i plan on parking the car due to some legal issues meaning losing license. so all this will happen when its parked it think

[Ondonti]

best to keep everything parked when you are license less.
