Thank you all for replying , trying to help out BTW...
I take oil pressure off the rear of the block.
Every single bearing had trash in it..........I'm actually beginning to doubt the pump is the problem myself................hell , I dunno..........I mean , its not like I haven't put plenty of engines together over the years. I've actually had these engines ( in the race car ) apart over the years and the bearings come out looking great , also...........so as the thread states , this is a "mystery" to me.
Some of you may recall I have lost oil pressure even in this new block , pulled it down and found all the main bearings were completely destroyed .as well as the center main caps on a brand new Dart block.
Please look thru this thread..........realize the vac pump is the common denominator.
