OK its me stupid again....this time i can't get any oil flow up around the roller lifters nor up ANY of the pushrods... luckily i decided to do a oil prime test beore installing theEdelbrock 2701 intake...... I got constant 60PSI on the oil pressure gauge and working the cheap drill very hard. This is a stock roller cam instead of old school flat tappet, a first time i ever or me.
The Fram site and Autozone says PH3980 for 1997 K1500 5.7L engine, but that s too narrow, i have a Napa 21036 same thing it wont fit either so i grabbed a new PH 5 off my shelf. Is that the problem or do i need a special spin on oil flter adaptor in the -880 block??
pixs show:
1) Fram site listing PH 3980
2) a different (SPARE) -880 block showing oil filter boss .... with fresh crank BTW its for sale
3) my engine prime testing
4) gauge reads 60 (10w30 oil 5 quarts)
why oh why dont any oil guggle up not even around the liters?? this was SUPPOSED to be a rebuilt short block ( from the local machine shop).....that i bought for only $300...if it sounds too good to be true it probably is too good to be true....
PS if i turn the primer shaft even with my fingers i get a few pounds oil pressure on the gauge......
