[old-chevy-truck] RE: oiling
Thanks for all the replies. I took off the valve cover and noticed while running that oil is coming out of what looks like a hose in about the middle in a pretty good stream. I assume this is where it should be coming from and all is good. Any responses to this is appreciated. Took my gas tank out and put some pieces of chain in it and shook it around, over all looks pretty good. Anyone ever put fuel filter in line between gas tank and fuel pump?

Re: [old-chevy-truck] RE: oiling
It's not uncommon for newer fuel injected cars to put a fuel filter down in the frame rail; my 86 Corvette has one there...but then the fuel pressure is higher to push it through as well.

RE: [old-chevy-truck] RE: oiling
The oil should be oozing out the hole in the top of each rocker. It will then run down each leg of each rocker, lubricating the pushrod end and the contact with the valve top/valve spring.

Shouldn’t be coming out of the hose – this hose is what feeds the rocker rail – and the rocker rail feeds the rockers. Is yours cracked or broken? If so, time to replace it.

[old-chevy-truck] RE: Truck Noise
I cant hear it well enough to discern what it is but if you remove one spark plug wire at a time , when the bad cylinder is disconnected , the banging should stop .-Nate Ken Wrote :Hi All I think I posted something on this a few months ago. I continue to have a noise that I believe is coming from the lower part of my engine - maybe in the oil pan area. The noise is a rattle or bang that is pretty noisy when I first start the engine but decreases as I rev the engine but then returns at idle. I have a 1954 full pressure 235. The oil pressure remains normal even when driving the truck and the temp is ok. Can an oil pump make this sort of noise? The engine was completely rebuilt about 2000 miles ago by a top notch mechanic. Ive added a link to a youtube video so that everyone can listen to the noise. Youll hear a slight pinging but its the banging noise that has me concerned. Heres the link: http://youtu.be/irrv-cUrsV4 Thanks for everyones help.

[old-chevy-truck] RE: oiling
At hot idle , oil should be weeping out of the rocker holes , not spraying , weeping very slowly .On older 216 work out 235/261s ,its common to not see any oil until the engne revs above 1,200 RPM ~ test this with the engine running valve cover in place ,_slightly_ rev. the engne and wait ~ it takes time to bleed the accumulated air out and begin weeping .DO NOT mindlessly rev. the engine trying to mak lots of oil spray out .-Nate Robert Asked :Hi All,Should there be a lot or little oil coming in the top of the engine around the lifters.

[old-chevy-truck] RE : Re Awakening
Drain refill the oil with thn oil like 10W anything .Then remove the spark plugs and do a valve adjust because the valves willsurely be tight from running it hot before .Then set the points gap /dwell (33 degrees) and finally , set the ign. timing to ball on pointer , go crank it a bunch to work the fresh oil through it and fill the carby with fuel , re install the plugs and have at it .Let us know how it goes .-Nate Rod Asked :Hello;I did try to search the group, because I suspected this question had been answered before. I was not successful in finding an answer. So I apologize for the possible rerun. I do wish too determine if my 50 Chevy with a 216 will start. I remember the radiator to p leaked, and it would run hot if ran to long when I parked it the fall of97. I cant remember if I ever ran it hotter than I should have,but something caused me to stop driving it. I have done nothing with it since it was parked, except put air in the tires,spray the wasp nests, and move it out of the field last week. This week, I wish to find if the engine can still fire. Seems Iremember I shouldpour small amounts of oil through the spark plug openings and let it soak before trying to fire the engine, true? Stale fuel? Thats a problem. Anything else Ive overlooked?Full disclosure; Im on the fence. Not sure yetif my goal is to restore the 5 window, or sell. But either way Id like to at least know if it would start again, and how to determine that without causingpossible damage to an engine. Thanks for any hel p.
