On a freash 396/402 from a 70 chevelle what should be the pressure be all stock thanks got it

The book I have says 40psi @ 2000rpms.

Thanks steve.I have 1 rocker not getting oil any ideas rod, rocker ok changed lifter new freash motor??psi good at 40+..Should oil be flying out or like mine slow and easy?Can someone help?

As long as it is oiling you should be fine. As for the one that is not oiling, did you check the pushrod to make sure the passage wasn't plugged up? I reused mine when I built my 468, and a few had some trash in the passage. Compressed air took care of them.

If that's not it, then it's probably the lifter. Just because it's new, doesn't mean that it could not be the problem.

Case in point: I had a miss in my old 350. I replaced all the spark plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. Still had the miss. So I replaced the points, and even the coil. Still had the miss. Long story short, one of the brand new plugs was bad......Don't ya just love working on cars?! :)

Steve,rod and rocker good fished a new lifter in place??? no2 shoots oil rest are slow and no5 nothing??What do u think...

Your oil pressure is fine. Just slow flow is ok. BUT, Did you change #5 lifter yet? If you checked rocker, if you checked push rod, than go to lifter and check or replace. I would replace and the get that car on the road. You could have been done already.

I keep saying i DID put another lifter samething!!!!!!!!

:eek:

THan let it run. Sometimes it does take a while even tho other lifters are showing oil... Don't drive it, just let it idle. Let it warm up to operating temp. Than pull the cover and see whats up. This is what I would do..Unless you a hear noises you don't like..

Your question marks (???) threw me off. Sounds like your asking a question instead of saying you did change lifter..
Also on my 468, the lifter on the #8 cyl. shoots oil out when the others are a slow flow. There is no problem after about 500 or so miles with some high RPM WOT runs

I been running the motor it sounds great but no oil comes.The no5 rocker looks darker in color cause of no oil. See i have about 200 miles on the motor b 4 i found it was getting no oil..

Dam !!!!! I would pull intake off again, put a oil priming tool in the distributer hole and prime engine watching for oil to come out of the small hole in lifter hole the feeds oil to THAT #5 lifter. At least you'll know there is oil there. Not sure whats happening after that.. it would be a part problem than ???????????

Try using some of those oil deflector clips on the rockers for adjusting them. Start the engine, then back off the #5 rocker until it starts ticking. Retighten, and see if it works now. I've had to do that in the past to get them flowing.

Thanks for the in put.Thanks for # 454.What you said is the next thing to try..Cameano yep tryed that..Could it be the cam...

Nope sounds good i think its getting just enough oil from the others
