Final days of the 401 on the dyno

1980_Cj7

Only thing I could find is HRC oil pump gears. I thought you were saying there were HRC distributer gear sets. So you only have the one set of the distributor gears for sale? Are they manufactured by Crown, the brand like we got before?

Which line? The line to the timing cover was small. IIRC 1/8", its the copper line in my linked pic above. I don't think you need much to keep it lubed plus you want to keep that line small so you don't starve the rest of the system.

OK, I'm a bit more sober (not):roll: and figured it was the copper line and not the coat hanger :wink: ... But WHERE are you taking the source from for an external oil line? Off the pump housing? The Oil filter? Oil cooler? Oil pressure sender plug? Curious minds want to know ...... :t:

Cool MC gotcha :t: BTW these where the Bulltear gears. And yes 150 in lbs sounds like a good number for highest torque that could easily strip these gears. 20 yrs ago I had a 1986 waggy that would strip the cam gear everytime I floored the 4 barrel until I checked the oiling circut and found I had very little oil on the gear. Ok so after all is reassembled a thinner oil will be used. Thanks for you input buddy. :!: Now onto the bottom end. Jeff

Jeff while I am burying my head into a cnc I am constanly checking your post. Funnest post ever!! I have a 18" monitor on top of a CNC mill here that I get to jump on here even when we are busy so I should get frequent flyer miles. :?: Oh and I still love that east coast accent...you guys sound like gansters. Being Italian makes me feel at home :?:

( In my best threating low volume East Coast mobster voice), I hope that computer sits on the CNC machine thats making the billet timing covers :t: Jeff

Not the best pic I know, but you can see what I did was replace the elbow at the oil pressure sender with a tee, the timing cover oil line is sourced from the run of the tee. Hope this helps.

yes, remove that line and cap the top, you won't need it. Jeff

So Jeff, you're saying don't take the feed line from there or that a direct injection from there isn't worth it??

Direct injection isn't necessary, if all the oil passages work as designed the added line just isn't needed. See my vids the gears have plenty of oil.
