I just re-read my post - to be clear, I wasn't stating that your engine was cavitating. Specifically directed towards the hacked up cobbled together engine b4 it ate itself up.
Hope you get it squared away... |
Here’s pictures of the dist. The tang doesn’t look beat up at all. Do you think that the wear marks on the gear are to low? https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...e008ed429.jpeghttps://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...76b368c12.jpeg |
I’ve also grabbed the tang with needle nose and tried to twist, pull, wiggle it but it doesn’t budge |
What distributor and intake are they, did you check the clearance on the oil pickup to pan ? pump might be cavitating if its to close to the pan, spinning it on a drill is much faster than at idle.

The tang is beat up it is not engaged enough that's why there is no oil pressure. It needs a slip coller distributer. The tang is rounded over on the drive side |
