heres some pic's of the A12 Im playing with, got it to run briefly but no oil pressure. Pulled the pan & found all this, I know it'd been modded obviously but had never looked inside. Surprisingly clean inside & looks to be in decent cond. has approx 190 PSI 1 thru 4 cyl's.
I couldn't get any oil pressure from it though. Pulled the pan and found the pickup tube screen smashed all the way into the tube and it seemed to have a silicone goo plug stuck in the screen, cleaned that out, puul the screen back out & tried to bring up oil pressure by inserting the pickup into a bucket of oil & cranking the engine over (flywheel & started attached to block) still no oil flow.
Only thing I can think of is perhaps the welds on the pickup tube extension are leaking air, I put a new gasket inbetween the pickup & block...
curious what crank this is, cant find a reference to a H1040 crank, stamped on the journal...
Im planning on replacing the pickup & pan with stock 1200 ones then ck pressure. Any other reasons anyone can think of for no oil pressure? tried 3 pumps BTW...
weird problem.
