Cool.. dial her in! you know theres more!

we went 97 last year, he made a few changes,mainly ditching mufflers.. hit 94 with ease the first week out with no trim, saw a lean condition, then found that the intercooler was leaking water into engine..got a new one and on the first good pass the Imco upper let loose!



Sorry Dave (SCARAB3DMC) I highjacked ya!!

GEN 6 blocks have 1/8 " pipe plugs in lifter gallery area,are you sure one didn't get left out? cold you would be ok but hot it would leak off enough,especially at idle to drop oil pressure to zero. Does it come up with rpm?,Smitty

You would not be OK without a galley plug at any rpm or hot/cold, that is alot of bleed off.

Good suggestion Smitty.That's a common mistake and it would cause what's happening.

How could you even get decent pressure with a galley plug missing? that is a big hole, the oil would just shoot out before building pressure!
