Will know at 530am tomorrow morning if she floats

AAAAHHHHH

I'm off nason and the 60 in murda valley, and brad you can use it till you get your pan back I have no problem with it. My 460 block is still sitting at the machine shop. Gonna be at least another 3 months before its dropped in the boat

My mistake, I thought we were talking about an olds.   

We were but now it's gonna turn into an olds man pissing war

Oil level has nothing to do with pressure.

I agree with the concensus that it is a 5 to 6 quart pan though.

I got a Dooley on my 455, and though it says "10 quart" it holds maybe 8 including a filter change.

Oil level too high, you get the crankshaft splashing around in it like a 2 year old and a mud puddle, even with a windage tray, foaming it all up and CAN lead to excessive crankcase pressure and cavitation of the oil pump, however. Mine would puke oil out the breathers when it was too high (Following the dumbass dipstick..... )

I wouldn't sweat your PSI numbers. Sounds normal to me if using a high volume pump. Now if you notice foaming oil on the dipstick, or in the valve covers, well then, you got too much in there. Thing with Olds and Poncho motors is (Buick also, if anyone is running one), without oil mods and oil return mods in particular, you need to run more oil in them than they indicate. Right to the ragged edge on oil levels, especially with a high volume pump (Not a good idea on an Olds).

Yah im only running 5 1/2 was just gonna top it off at 6. But the oil pump is new and a nothing special stock pump.

Putting the old oil in it, it ran 20-60 cold and hot

Using pensoil 50wt I was stuck at 60 no up or down cold and hot

Using valvoline 30 I was 5psi at idle 40 max cold and didn't wait for it to get hot

Now using valvoline vr1-50 its 50psi cold at idle, 40-45 at temp and it maxes out at 60 around 2k and holds that psi to 5k

That guy Corey using the SCJB app

Well I ran my cable like so and I'm not having an issue yet

Oh dude that's was your trailer, my bad

.

So not thinking like an idiot I didn't drop the pan to check what it will hold when the motor was out and I don't trust a dipstick that doesn't fit right so here's my dilemma, I only pulled 4 quarts out of the pan, no way that's enough. Even an auto pan takes 5 1/2-6. So I put 5 1/2 in it for the time being. Well I filled it up with vr1-50 and at idle about 1000rpm I'm around 45psi and ill hit 65psi  by 2000 and it will hold all the way to 5000, and this is with the motor at temp of 160-170. What do you olds experts say?

Had to beat you to the water

What a pain in the ass that was. Ill never do it by myself again

Made a nick nack run to ace and found 3ft strips of heat shrink, we shall see if it helps with the cables cracking
