Possible Oil Problems
Posted: Sun Jul 01, 2018 6:11 pm
Good evening everyone.
I have a question to ask regarding oil to the head. I have searched the site, and although this seems a common question, I can't find an answer to my specific query.
There is oil circulating back into the tank and the oil filter has oil all over it. I don't think there is any oil getting to the head though. If I take the rocker cover off, I can run a piece of wire down the oil-way all the way into the crankcase, so there isn't a problem with the gaskets or any stray sealer. If I fill the oil-way up with 3in1, it will pulse oil back out when kicking over, however, I'm getting a sucking sound while kicking over with the tappet cover removed. Is this normal?
My other thought is, does this system rely on a vacuum that may or may not be created through the inlet valve oil-way?
The oil pump is fitted correctly with a new guide pin and all oil-ways were checked and cleaned prior to rebuilding.
I have attached a little vid

Cheers in advance
