I've got it back together, has over bore w/high compression pistons, and runs, somewhat. Along way from the boxes of parts I started with. Now to the question. The oil pressure guage is rusted and pretty nasty looking and doesn't register anything. The book says that normal pressure is 12 lbs? Is this correct? I put a "master guage" on it, but the first number is 25 lbs and the needle doesn't move. I had the correct cleareances on the main and rod bearings (.002 to .003). Do I need to adjust the relief valve and how do I do that? Thanks for all the help!

We bought a 1952 CA that didnt have any oil pressure. We tryed all the other tricks with no results. We finnaly broke down and bought a new gauge. We had to replace the oil filter with a new Fram (C159 filter) and used HD 30W oil and wala we had oil pressure. We was told not to use such heavy oil due to the temp here in the winter beacuse it would make it hard to start. Temp has been around 0 and had no problems starting. Good luck Mike

Check the oil filter to make sure the tube from the base is there and not jammed too far down into the base. Be sure the filter is not a Wix or NAPA or Agco with the pleated element. Hopefully you installed new cam bushings because that is the first place you lose oil pressure.

WHAT KIND OF FILTER SHOULD BE USED? BRAND WISE.

If I put my finger over the oil pressure guage hole, there is some pressure and oil is going to the rocker arm assembly.
