i had the oil pressure check at idle and at 2000, it was 10 and i think 36

5-90 i understand putting a .001 bearing in would take up the clearance but what i didnt think about is the mains the crank are going to be ground down so i would have to find a .011 or .021 or .031 and i wont find any that size

This is from the ****er at rockauto who is siding with marshall "Marshall makes these parts and makes sure to check all specifications before they send these long blocks out. As you can imagine, they would not do very well if they sent parts worth thousands of dollars out with problems. We...

well its a remanufactured engine so i am going to assume the crank had been machined. I am really boned in the situation. I bought the engine from Marshall engines(dont ever do again) and i am getting low oil pressure after highway use only. about 10 psi at idle. The company says plastigages...

So long story short i bought a crate engine, and it have low oil pressure. I had it plastigaged and the mains came in at .003 or .0005 over max and .001 from ideal. Can i got .001 undersized to make up for the gap. the engine has maybe 50 miles on it. Or does it have to be .0005 under because...

well we plastigaged the mains and connecting rod bearings. CR's were good Mains we at .003 so i am going to see where we go form here

Its a engine with 0 miles on it. I am not satisfied with paying 1700 for a engine with a now oil pressure issues

It is a re manufactured engine with 50 miles so i doubt there is any sludge. i also live in NY so using 20 50 would cause serious start up problems. i used to get lots of ticking in the am with 10 30. There is indeed only 10 psi at idle and the engine only has 50 miles on it. the shop is going...

5w30 valvoline 50miles first was a fram i pulled it and now its stp oil filter yes and replaced it with a new one

So i just had reman 4.0l engine installed in my 99 WJ(same engine) after the first engine threw a piston at 115k. the new engine's oil pressure drops to 10 at idle after highway driving, and sometimes down to 0. I changed out the sender for a new one, and i also changed oil filters. neither...

I am finally going back to buffalo after blowing my engine. Does anyone need any parts shipped? looking for $20 bucks per shipment

Well i just got a call from the shop. New engine has a knock. when it rains it pours

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone, I got it there tn, hopefully Ill have the motor in and be way back home in a couple of days.

I have triple A, they only provide the first three miles free. then its 4.5 a mile

thanks, yeah its been a real rough couple of weeks. i blew my engine then i got the flu, then i got over it, and then got the flu again.
