Quoted From Beefy:
No, the oil pump does not create oil pressure. My own ’91 F150, I run 10/40 in it to keep the pressure up, but I’m just putting off the inevitable that I will have to replace the engine. Eric’s vid on how oil pressure works:
OPS. Not what i ment to say.
Well I ment to say that but ment it in a different way. Iv seen your vid eric and of course i loved it,What i ment is could the oil pump not be picking up and or supplying oil as well.
Iv got a buddy who owes me alote of money he just got rear ended and killed his 351 HO boss mustang with around 70k. If i get the car for nothing how hard would it been to drop in my truck and get going.
I talked to his and he said he would help me.
As stated in the video the clearances in the engine create oil pressure, the pump just creates volume and considering it’s the first thing to get oil you don’t often find a bad one, it’s more likely to be engine clearances that are out of tolerance that cause oil pressure issues than it is an oil pump. That said how ‘hard’ something is depends on your money and time because with those you can do just about anything however if you lack in either one things get much more difficult.
