Hey guys,
Just finished a Heads and Intake upgrade on my 5.0 Windsor and after priming the engine, I could not see any oil flow. Pump was primed for close to a minute. I'm planning on replacing the oil sending unit with a oil pressure gauge to see what the pressure is. Question is: what should the oil pressure be? I'm guessing it should be around 15 - 25 lbs when priming and 40 - 60 lbs with the engine running.
For the no oil flow condition to the heads, how long should I prime the engine to see if there is any oil flow. Running Manley pushrods, PRW stud roller Rockers with Flo Tek heads. Lifters are stock hydraulic rollers.
Appreciate the help.
