I rebuilt my massey 35 3cyl perkins. Full kit. crank turned, undersize bearings. Plastiguaged right on the tight side of the tollerances.
Now have tried two new oil pumps.
Relief valve checked and I slightly stretched the spring. No difference.
I get 5 psi at idle and 10 at 1500 rpm. Before the rebuild, I had 40 at idle and 60 at 1500 rpm.
Both sump oil lines pressure tested. Compression fittings on each end of each pipe is perfect. Really tight.
Screen is clean, was clean before rebuild.
My only hint of a possiblility is when I remove the oil filtre mount, and blow in the top port, air comes out of all the main bearings, but in my opinion, too freely. Examined the inside of
the block very well and no visible problems.
I have been 3 weeks without a tractor that I farm with every day. I am really desperate. I cultivate daily and cannot borrow any local tractors as their wheels will not adjust to the row
spacings that I need.
Please please help, george
