Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Low Oil Pressure?
« on: August 01, 2017, 10:59:35 PM »
Hey Guys,
Just ran my boat at Parker for the first time last weekend.. Ran bitchen!
However I am really concerned, and new to understanding my engine.
I have a 1996/95 Gen 5 block in my 19ft Dana.. The motor is completely stock and came out of a 1996 3500
peanut port heads, flat tappet cam, Jegs 3 window racing oil pan, HV oil pump, edlebrock performer intake, 750 carb and a piece of shit distributor with a vacuum advance. Mobile 1 10-30 Diesel oil (was told to do this from multiple people because of a higher level of Zinc?)
When i launched my boat and ran out of the no wake zone i was at 40psi of oil pressure. Ran it for about 15 minutes and when i came back in to the no wake zone i was around 35psi. The second day i ran same thing. Day 3 it dropped to around 15-20 psi at idle and around 30 psi at 2500 rpm. Now, ive been hearing about 2 oil bypasses that need to be changed out? Can some one shed some light on this? Dont want to grenade anything and just really want a turnkey reliable boat... No plans on going 80+ mph..
Thanks for taking the time to read this..
