a block tap of oil pressure gauge

[Tooloe]

is there a place on the block i can screw in a mechanical oil pressure gauge?

down there above the oil lines, but you may have to t fitting it off the block if you are gonna keep the oil temp guage

i'm just looking for a place to tap into the block to check to see if it's correct....apparently something is wrong but in all the videos i've made it shows that my oil gauge has read this high since this past september.. and more than likely before that.. there is a place that looks like i could tap into the block for oil right above the oil filter

ok i get what you are sayiung now stink i had to goo look lol

I think there is a blocked off port there if not mistaken bud, bud dang its been so long since I worked with a oem block cant remember, but right above the filter I know there is at least one port for checkng pressure

i bet thats the one i'm looking at.. anybody got a clue what size threads those are lol?

Unscrew the factory oil sending unit, and T it off

 

[Tooloe]

does anyone know what size the oil relief valve is so i can get it out of there an check out the spring?

8mm allen head

 

[Tooloe]

well it looks liek someone has been dicking around with the relief valve before me... it's striped out and i'm not sure of anyway to get it out now

 

[Tooloe]

but let me ask this question... do you think that there would be something wrong in the bottom end? if it's been running like this for at least 4 or 5 months? with this high of oil pressure

Correct. I have my accusump through it.

Specs say 110psi MAX @ 3k so I dont think the 90 is too bad once you get past the 3k, but @ idle-3k, is not within specs at all. Im thinking what damage would be caused mechanically @ idle with high psi though.....good question

yes that what i'm worried about... i talked to 2 diffrent people that are well known with vipers and they both said check the sending unit along with talking to stinker one of the guys he talked to said check the sending unit.. but that dosn't explain the ballooning of the filter

If expansion of the filter was caused by oil pressure, I say relief valve

I too think Patrick is right toole, but I think where the other guys thinking is , to check the actuall pressure first and verify there "is' a problem, from there, you would go to the next step,
ya got to think as a tech would...

step one verify pressure

step two, cause of abnormal pressure


and on and on

+1 :rock: agreed, check gauge first

this gettin scary! LOLOLOLOL

Hydraulic erosion of the bearings is a distinct possability
