How to get oil pump working 8.0 V10
Thanks Copper93. Yeah I have read about the issue of the torx bolts backing out. I therefore put loctite on them a year ago when I rebuilt the timing chain cover. I also measured the play of the rotor which was within tolerances. I therefore really don’t know where to go next. However I have...- Viper_cobra

How to get oil pump working 8.0 V10
Good point copper93! Mine didnt have an O-ring but had a gasket. I dont know if that was stock. However, I did plug the pump and flooded it. The pump didn’t give any pressure at idle but gave 30psi at 2500rpm. As soon as I went back to idle, the pressure went away. Started her up two hours later...- Viper_cobra

How to get oil pump working 8.0 V10
Have thought about what to do next to get pressure. I think if I might seal the evacuation hole with a cloth. I will be able to fill the whole pump all the way from my oil filter hose down to the pick-up and small filter. If the pump not kicks in by then it never will, I guess.... Experiences...- Viper_cobra

How to get oil pump working 8.0 V10
I run the engine on a aftermarket ECU-system. Meaning, I can shut on/off ignition and fuel to crank. I did prime the pump before I mounted the engine to the car a year ago. Then I turned the crank from a “bolt gun” and I got lots of oil through the filter. However I never tested the actual...- Viper_cobra

How to get oil pump working 8.0 V10
Removed the oil pan today. The pickup and “filter” looks good, all bolts for the pump are in place. Tomorrow I will either start with checking the pressure relief valve or try to put a small cup of oil under the pickup so it can suck directly from that one and then crank the engine. Re the...- Viper_cobra

How to get oil pump working 8.0 V10
Update: Tried to get the pump working by turning the engine backwards and filling oil through the hose. When I ran the crank there were still no pressure. The pump just spits very small amount of oil. Will remove the oil pan tomorrow to check if somethings wrong with the pickup or filter.- Viper_cobra

How to get oil pump working 8.0 V10
Thanks for the input dhay13. My pump is mounted to the crank. Seems like the chevys is more prepared for these issues than my mopar (slightly rebuilt) https://www.allpar.com/threads/the-dodge-truck-v10-engine-1994-2003.229979/ Tonight I will try to pump oil backwards by filling the hoses with...- Viper_cobra

How to get oil pump working 8.0 V10
Yes, but how is the priming made properly. Just filling oil “backwards” through the hoses or is there something that I should do with the screw on the side of the timing chain cover?- Viper_cobra

How to get oil pump working 8.0 V10
Thank you Daw14! My English isn’t that good. Anyone who has an instruction for that (O did search YouTube but couldn’t find anything relevant). Remember when I put the timing cover back, a year ago, I was greasing the rotor to get vacuum to suck up oil. After that I ran the crank with a power...- Viper_cobra

How to get oil pump working 8.0 V10
Hi all. Have now got my AC-Cobra with the 8.0 V10 engine up running. However, I do not dare to run it since I don’t get any oil pressure. The engine has been sitting for 10years during the building process. Is there a way to bleed the pump to get it working? I have moved the oil filter due to...- Viper_cobra

How to troubleshoot/fix starter 8.0 V10
Problem solved. As mentioned, the starter got better after some TLC. However it didn’t turn good enough. Hooked up an extra +cable and ground. After that it fired right up. I guess that the main circuit switch which kill the + supply from the battery isn’t strong enough and I loose a lot of...- Viper_cobra

Good idea treburkulosis! Feel free to check with your buddy. I have a SRT starter motor from an -07. Tried to marry the two of them but they look quite different.

How to troubleshoot/fix starter 8.0 V10
Have serviced the starter now and it runs better but since I run an aftermarket ecu the trigger synchronization is not as optimal as the stock ECU. I would therefor like to get more boost when cranking. If I’m correct the stock starter for V10 -96 is 1,4 kW. Anyone who can tell if there is a...- Viper_cobra
