RE: [Chrysler300] Continuing on on non (oil pressure)

["Thomas Miller" <tfm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok,
 
I just can't resist...  Larry, is there any oil in the pan?  <grin>
 
Seriously though, I was thinking along the lines of a plugged pickup or tube as Rick has mentioned if the pump is not the culprit.  
 
In my mind, if you're attempting to avoid removing the oil pan, you might try a high pressure blowout nozzle into the pickup tube when you have the pump off.  That might jar loose any crud that could be on the pickup screen.  If that's the case, I'd follow up with a good dose of some sort of solvent to loosen up the crud and get it to drain from the drain plug hole.  
 
On the other hand, if there's that much crud in there, I'm thinking my curiosity would get the best of me and I'd drop the pan to see what else is lurking.....
 
Best Regards,

Larry;  Being the oil pump is off, fish a piece of welding rod with a .25" crook in the end into the pick-up hole and see if the tube is still connected or broken off. Blow low pressure air into the same hole. and listen if oil bubbling can be heard. I haven't seen a totally clogged oil pick up on a MoPar. I have seen them fully clogged on some Ford vans of the late nineties, the oil we were using was digesting the rear main rope seal and the fiber clogged the screen. Rick

Many of you had suggestions as to why no oil pressure on the 66 383 in a CM27. Removed the oil pump and find that the inner rotor rotates as the engine is cranked, and since the engine ran, both the oil pump and the distributor remain connected through the cam shaft. I have a new NAPA pump coming on Tuesday but doubt installation of it will change much of anything. Now I am thinking the oil pick-up must either be totally clogged, or disconnected from the pick up pipe. Any other thoughts?
