Was wheeling one nite 3am and ended up in a hole for 3 hours. Tranny was full of water as was the motor. One of my problems is ive got no oil presure now,so ive drained everythang pulled both the tranny and oil pan and oil pump took oil pump apart cleaned it all up and reinstalled it and the pans after i put a new timing chain and gear set in it. Fired it up ran good for a minute or two then the presure gauge drops from 40psi to 0 psi. Any info to help me aliviate my problem would be appriciated, also once the gauge drops my 4.o sounds like hell!!!!!

 

sounds like hell as in ?

 

Kinda noisy like friction noise or grinding but not real loud

 

Just a suggestion. My buddy rolled his wrangler into a lake... and shut it off right away, but there was water in everything. he drained EVERYThing and replaced all fluids, let it run for, well, all day, and cleared it out. Just a thought. was yours running the whole time?

 

I was in there giving it hell for bout an hr then gave up and called somebody 2 pull me out

 

that aint good by any mean no oil pressure, grinding could be alt bearings gotta check oil pressure with mechanical gauge

 

I guess my motor could be fried or close 2 it

 

this is very possible

 

Could be alt but it is only a few weeks old, what was they thinking puting it on the bottom?lol

 

Guess its a good reason to start a future stroker build

 

maybe the oil pump lost its prime. Try removing the dist. and spinning the pump,
keeping an eye on the oil pressure. Hopefully ----

 

Ok thanks gonna try tomorow, also heard to take the oil pump back off and pack it with vasoline and reinstall

 

warer and bearings dont get along new or old ...they werent think about riding in rivers at 3am...

 

]lol i know its actually a mud hole{lake} at a place called techumece lakes

 

...As well they should have been. lol
