Oiling System Flow Path Of The Classic American V8 Engine

Вставка
  • Опубліковано 16 бер 2022
  • While there are many design variations that separate the engines from Ford, GM and Chrysler, many systems contain universal features. Here is a run through of the typical Classic Era American engine oiling system as illustrated on a Big Block Mopar. The flow Path starting from the pickup strainer and continuing all the way up to the rockers and everything in between.

    I remember in the 80's about a electric pre startup oiler that had a reservoir. It had a connection to the key start with a delayed start till oil pressure reached a preset pressure. I've always thought that this was a very reasonable solution to avoid startup damage.

    • @DerpyRedneck
      @DerpyRedneck 2 роки тому +1

      It avoids startup damage, it prolongs engine oil life, if prolongs engine life, lessens pollution levels of start up for many obvious reasons, and is just a great system overall.

    Tony, this is the type of information that got me to subscribe three years ago. I doubt I'll ever build a race car; rather, I want a great, classic, daily driver that serves the purpose today that it was designed to serve when it was built. You have refined your videos, and you look much more comfortable in front of the camera. But I do miss the Stunt Carb!!!!!

    Great video Tony!! A lot of people fail to realize that pumps don’t make pressure. Pressure is resistance to flow. That’s why old worn out engines have low oil pressure, not necessarily from a weak pump, but because the tolerances (resistance) is no longer there. Keep it up!!

      What you're failing to realize, is the fact that Tony continues to teach even during videos featuring the young men and their project car. Sure, a few of those videos only focus on the car build itself, but make no mistake, Tony is teaching just as much in the majority of those videos as well. He's not just "disappearing into the background & allowing those guys to take over". So you're missing out young man. Look at it this way: who do ya think is teaching & coaching those guys along in the videos dedicated to their car? Answer: TONY. He is doing 2 things at once: he's teaching those guys AND the young viewers at the same time. Think about it.

      I think what they thought at one time and what they think today have nothing in common. Direct injected engines seem to be garbage, and there was no real good reason to cut the engine life in half or more for the very little gain. If I were to off on a rant , it would be about how unions own politicians! They're working side by side for persona gain. Fuck democrats, that pander to complete idiots. All Biden it doing is trying to screw the middle class over and shift the blame for his own incompetence . This was all a trend far before Putin "attacked " Ukraine. FJB and his assault on the world

    Crazy coincidence: Yesterday I was looking at the B and RB Mopar oil passage enlargement drill bit at 440 source and was trying to figure out if it was something I needed or if it was just snake oil (pun intended).
    Looks like it would increase the volume of oil to the main bearings. It would have taken me a while to figure that out without this overview video.

    Hi Mate, I’ve got an interesting old engine (for me anyway) it’s a 1953 260 cubic inch Rolls Royce inline six where the rods are drilled vertically to lube the piston pin but has a hole drilled at 90 degrees through the side of the rod to directly lubricate the thrust side of the bore. It also has such niceties as a billet crank, sodium filled exhaust valves, beehive valve springs, dual point distributor and everything is mounted via studs. The cast aluminium sump holds 16 litres of oil. I’d like to hot it up and stick it in my model A roadster.

    Thanks a few corrections
    1. The number one main bearing gets oil direct from the filter
    2. The right main gallery feeds the mains and the right side lifters
    3. The left gallery only feeds the left side lifters
    4. The rockers are fed through the #4 cam bearing which acts to limit the supply of oil to the top end.

    • @desoto3749
      @desoto3749 Рік тому

      Yes you are correct on the #4 cam bearing. I believe there are actually three oil holes in #4 cam bearing and the camshaft oil passage is drilled at an angle that alternates with the left & right side to direct oil to the top end. I believe I am right in saying this and I believe this is somewhat unique to Chrysler big blocks? I am currently involved with an engine rebuild and it is not getting oil to the right side top end. Machine shop cleaned, bored and installed cam bearings. Suspect the cam bearing was installed in the wrong orientation? Will need to pull cam and check. Lesson learned to check this prior to assembly.

    Cross drilling the crank is a better choice then switching to fully grooved main bearings (assuming the tools and skill are available). The strength of the oil film across the width of the bearing is directly related to the bearing surface width. A groove down the middle splits the bearing into two narrower bearing surfaces, reducing the load carrying capacity and film strength. Most of these classic engines are so over-designed, if there are fully grooved bearings available, use them, but they will not have the same service life as ungrooved bearings. Your mileage may vary.

When the shop took a look at it they told him the engine was dead and needed replacement. When they took the old engine into the shop they found a bent pushrod and the lifter laying in the valley. They put the lifter back in installed a new pushrod, it ran great and had good oil pressure. They sold the engine off as used and it ran for years to come. We never did know why the pushrod bent?
