Couple more pictures of the boat and my brother driving. And it's Perris, got to the tire shop on Friday night and homeboy bailed on me so I wasn't able get new tires for the trailer and I wasn't towing to big river on crap tires. So we camped there Friday night and Saturday night. It sure wasn't BR but it was still a good time. Dragged the guys around on an inner tube in the morning and when it turned into a wave pool we hid behind the island and dropped anchor and kicked back. Pulled a few good size large mouth bass and swam for the rest of the day.
For a shake down it went pretty well I guess. Would of been perfect if I cleaned the carb before we left Friday.

Well, after new plugs, wires, checking timing and vac leaks I figured it out. I red neck cleaned the carb and there it was.
Pulled an honest 55 out of it at 4k with 4 200+ guys and 20 gallons of fuel, and no diverter
I just may keep it.

Wouldn't idle all the sudden, runs like shit up to 3k then all fine. Tried all the tricks I know, checked for vac leaks, oils clear and just can't figure it out.
Found one of the plugs on the ports on the carb was pretty much shot and gone but other than that I can't find anything. I have a set of plugs and socket on its way, hopefully I fouled the plugs

« on: May 29, 2013, 10:52:22 AM »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).
Ray
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

« on: May 29, 2013, 10:46:08 AM »Nothing wrong with 45 psi cold at all. Dropping to 30 after a run is standard with an Olds too. Much below that, it means slow down cuz you ain't got no oil mods done to yo moto.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using SoCalJetBoats mobile app
It was not cold though, it was at 160-170, at idle 45 then It was at 60 by 2000 and held 60 psi all the way to 5000

I ran it on the hose for probably 5 mins every half hour last night 3-4 times to keep it at about 160 for over 2 hours and it still ran high
