    The road trip stories of the old time sprint cars is just the best.

    The oil scavenge screens in the oil pan were particularly plugged with the rubber parts of the valve seal.
    Causing a oil level in the pan high enough for the rods to dip in it making a oily air to vent out on the ground. Keeping the oil tank full enough to feed the engine is adequate for a period of time.
    The oil level should be maintained at each stop..

    Another upvote for the stories from the past, it's so great to hear about the old cars and the old times!
    Hope the engine is OK! WillyB

    Probably tiny particals of the valve seal plugged up the oil pressure guage.

    Story time in the the truck was cool. I always loved the hand lettered sprint cars of the 70s and 80s. There was a guy named John Strummer in Ohio that always hand lettered some really awsome looking cars.

    Use to stop by Doug Shaws shop in Newark Delaware he and his father had a real nice operation in later years I believe he settled in Southwest Florida and built some cars for Kenny Adams a former Southern PA Motocross champion and sprint car ace.

    If the oil level was too high, when it gets hot it would expand and push it out the breather. It may be getting hot because the engine has a problem. Park it Bill. Head home and pull it tonight.

  • @TimothyCunningham-c9g
    @TimothyCunningham-c9g ปีที่แล้ว

    Could you in one of your videos about car maintenance talk about the rear brake rotor glowing red why some do some do not howto keep the heat away from fuel tank

  • @tomedwards450
    @tomedwards450 ปีที่แล้ว

    It was smart to check the oil pressure guage with air.

    The scavenge side of the pump has a restriction. If there was coolant in the oil it would be milky and foamy.

    tough figuring it out under the pressure of running or not

  • @tomedwards450
    @tomedwards450 ปีที่แล้ว

    Also more engine oil needs to be added to replace the oil that is being blown out of the breather.

  • @ThomasMartin-q9v
    @ThomasMartin-q9v 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Water would make the oil milky in color. Your oil looked good coming out. Problem with bearing clearance somewhere. As you know, the pump supplies the oil and the bearing clearance determines pressure. Crank, cam, push rods, etc. Better not run it and pull engine.

  • @ThomasMartin-q9v
    @ThomasMartin-q9v 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    There was no water in the oil that leaked out. No foam present. Can't run without oil pressure. Pressure comes from bearing clearances as you know. Must be a problem Bill. Load her up. Could still fix this motor. Run it and probably not. BOOM!

    Seal on your visor need replacing? Motor laying down? Maybe should have tried changing oil before feature to see what leaked in ?

    Never really understood with the cost of a 410 motor why more dudes dont run a dummy light, seen some use the type with the light in the gauge. I woulda used the go pro to watch the gauge during the race to go back and watch it and see whats goin on, not that it would help just as easy to send it out and have it looked at.

      I noticed same thing but I’m just assuming they were insinuating that the hurt engine is the speed gremlin

  • @jamesheelein5835
    @jamesheelein5835 ปีที่แล้ว

    You're the reason why it's coming out of your tank like that when you're out on the throttle and it takes time for the oil pressure to build back up again

  • @abpob6052
    @abpob6052 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Looks like you are going to find a bad head gasket or a small crack in the block near the head gasket. Not fun chasing gremlins when they aren't obvious. Just wastes your time at the track and makes you frustrated.

    Oh no. More gear------------drivers are all the same. More gear will fix anything. Just kidding. As a driver, I would tell the owner I need more gear.
