Mr. Stroker
CASE IH
Well i worked from 8 this morn to 9 tonight. I got most of it done and fired her up for the first time.
I fired it up, double and tripple checking every bolt i installed, checked and double checked all the wires, plugs and everything. Fired her up and here are the results....
SO many knocks i dont know where to start. HAHA Jk knock on wood.
Well she fired right up, musta set the dist in correct
But something funny happened. I started it up, and usually with my old motor the oil presure guage wouldnt read anything for the first couple seconds, so i waited. Waited about 10 seconds and no oil presure, so i shut her down. Checked the oil, checked for leaks, got brave and started it up again and the needle moved to the N on normal..
So im like well its making oil pressure, so i let it idle for about 20 seconds and it began to climb a bit. So i shut it off again and checked for leaks, checked the oil, everything seamed great. So i topped off the coolant, and started it back up.
Oil pressure guage was acting funny (its brand new) New oil pump, and im not sure if they used that oil pump that they supplied me when they ran the motor for 10 minutes.
Well the guage was dancing around and im like wtf, i would slowly bring it up to 1500 rpms and it would drop, so i thought DANG! Well i let it idle and it slowly went to between the M and A on NORMAL. Well it was still dancing so i let it idle more, then it stopped dancing but when i would bring the idle up it would go down a little. I let it idle more and it finally stayed there, no more dancing. Thinking maby the sending unit need to break in, and some oil to the oil pump.
So i let it run for bout a minute, shut it down and checked again for any leaks, checked all fluids, added some trans fluid, and let it idle some more.
Well im letting her sit over night, gonna get a timing light and time it, check everything out again and maby slowly pull it out of the garage.
Idle is rough, Expected it to be without the timing light and the distributer loose.
My pugging and crap like of the thermactor system seams to be doing good, no high idle because of vac leaks or anything like that.
Well i said enough for tonight lol. One last thing. Can anyone be kind enough to get a picture for me of the dust shields on a E4OD trans? I put mine on the way i thought they came off but i seam to be rubbing somewhere.
thanks
