HDT Replica Van

I primed the pump with grease which I think has probably blocked a gallery. The stuffed engine is sitting on a stand waiting for some attention at some point. I'm a bit keen on a stroker motor with one of those 4 barrel style throttle bodies.

I've used grease successfully, that shouldn't have blocked anything. Pump may have been stuffed, I recently bought a new "High volume" one and it makes no pressure under 2000 rpm. I'm going to have to replace it.

I have a HV pump too. They reckon they can empty the sump quicker than the oil can drain back down too.

I had this same issue a few weeks back. On early type blocks that had a timing chain guide you still need to fit the retaining bolts as one of them actually screws into the pick up gallery. It took me a few hours to work out the problem. No need to use a high volume pump at all.
