Thank you. Your video was very helpful for me to understand how to modify my oil pan. I just purchased a 350 small block of my ’68 Buick Wildcat. The sump is sitting on my steering shaft.
Thanks a lot Chad, easy to understand, helped a lot me. I'm assembling a small block for my Brazilian 77 C10. Hear in my country C10'S never had v8s, so i'm making my own. Greetings from Brazil
Incredibly helpful! Thank you for the good content. There are so many good machines that don’t know how to use a camera so thanks for the good quality!!
Hello..I have a 1988 Suburban 5.7EFI...I had the Engine Rebuilt...I got it back with the Factory Oil gauge NOT working ..???...All the Gauges worked before the Head Gasket blew...I took the Sending unit off the side off the Engine block above the Oil filter housing while the Engine was Running .. [ ..NO Oil was coming out ]..?..Is there a Tube or something they forgot to Connect ..from the Oil pump...?..any Advice would be AWESOME...Thank You..Daren...
depends on the vehicle. on some you can undo exhaust, starter, torque converter dust cover, and motor mounts, loosen trans mount, then lift the front from the intake bolts with a hoist, rotate the front crank journal up into the block, then pull the pan. from there you can do stuff like 2 piece rear main seal and oil pump replacement.
They usually start pretty easy. Sometimes you have to give it a tap with a rubber hammer or get the special tool that pushes on the flared part of the screen.
Chad have you ever opened up the oil pump and checked the pressure relief valve to see if it's opening and closing I saw that on a older U tube video but I recently opened my sbc oil pump and you can't move the relief valve but it did have the green spring . What do you think did the styles change or what ? I packed mine full of vaseline for a easier prime. But please let me know if you have any idea about the pressure relief valve. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. Blessings and more Blessings to you and your family
@@SquarebodyStuff no worries Chad I appreciate your help. Oh yeah great name I named my second son Chad after my best friend Chad from Minnesota. Blessings and more Blessings
What about all this you hear about the extra HP the HV pump uses and the extra "wear" it puts on your distributor gear? You take apart engines have you ever seen any wear or had a problem useing a HV pump or are these keyboard warriors promoting that you will destroy your distributor gear on the shaft.
@@SquarebodyStuff ok thanks, we never touched the distributor, it’s not ceased. it ran for 30 seconds and cut off just wondering if i will have to replace my engine because of this
welding sucks I'm a professional welder for 40 years wouldn't weld it like that buy or build a bracket like thin steel strap weld it to the time drill a hole and bolt it to the pump just saying if your pulling the wheels off the ground that pick up will break and fall off just saying
I've also been a welder fabricator for most of my life and built engines on the side. Ive welded more pumps like this than i can remember. I've never had an issue.
From the factory they are just pressed in with no weld. Welding them is not necessary, but more of a precaution. I've never used loctite, so I can't comment on that. It probably would be ok as long as everything it oil free when you push the screen it.

The name of your channel warranted my subscription before I watched a single video.
Thanks
You sure are a confidence builder. Going to do this before I turn my SBC over for the first time in 12yrs. Keep the videos coming!
Glad I can help. Good luck.
Another great video. I like the short videos with specific content. Very well done!

Thanks need some your help with that installed 👍
You're welcome
Can I use JB weld instead of tack weld since I’m a 63-year-old widow?
I would not suggest it. You can also drill and pin it with a roll pin.
Hi there , I just bought the intermediate shaft it does not stay or snap to place is that normal or it should be tight fit , I bought it from melling
They don't snap in.
Is it possible to put the shaft in through the distributor hole?
Not unless you have the plastic collar on the pump already. If you have one with the metal collar, you won't be able to.
you don't lube the new oil pump before putting it in ?
It'll get primed with a primer before startup.
I dropped a bolt down distributor hole. Can’t find it with a magnet. What else can I try?
Pull the intake manifold.
Is there no gasket for the pump
Not originally, but they do make gaskets if you want to use one. I never do, unless it's a special build.
Can an oil pump be replaced in a 1976 Camaro 350 engine without pulling the engine? Mechanic is telling me the engine has to be pulled. Thanks!
I don't know for sure, but I would guess yes. Probably not enough room between the pan and cross member.
depends on the vehicle. on some you can undo exhaust, starter, torque converter dust cover, and motor mounts, loosen trans mount, then lift the front from the intake bolts with a hoist, rotate the front crank journal up into the block, then pull the pan. from there you can do stuff like 2 piece rear main seal and oil pump replacement.
Hey Chad how do you get the new pick up screen into the oil pump?
They usually start pretty easy. Sometimes you have to give it a tap with a rubber hammer or get the special tool that pushes on the flared part of the screen.
if I send it to a shop will they have to take the motor out??
Should be able to get the pan off without pulling the motor. Might have to tale mounts loose and raise it up a bit
@@SquarebodyStuff thanks!
I don't wanna put it in dry. Ain't that the truth. Lol
Yeah that's exactly what she said
Chad have you ever opened up the oil pump and checked the pressure relief valve to see if it's opening and closing I saw that on a older U tube video but I recently opened my sbc oil pump and you can't move the relief valve but it did have the green spring .

I honestly haven't ever messed with or had problems with the pressure relief valve. I'm afraid I'm not much help.

Never had an issue. Been running them for 30 years.
Could changing oil pump effect timing
Only if you don't get the distributor set back in right. The pump itself has nothing to do with timing.
@@SquarebodyStuff thanks buddy you have cashapp I wanted to ask a few more questions
Asking is free my friend. Not gonna promise I'll have the answer. 😅😅😅
@@SquarebodyStuff ok thanks, we never touched the distributor, it’s not ceased. it ran for 30 seconds and cut off just wondering if i will have to replace my engine because of this
Could I just in weld it???
Do you mean weld it solid?
Sorry I meant jb weld in a couple of spots.
I don't recommend jb weld.
Torque in libras pie? ??
67
weld it to the pick up sorry

Hey bud Gen 1 sbc oil filter adapter gasket or not? thanks
I've never ran one.
thanks bud thats what i thought . Just getting opinions
No problem.
Can you use any other way to hold the screen on like loktite?
From the factory they are just pressed in with no weld. Welding them is not necessary, but more of a precaution. I've never used loctite, so I can't comment on that. It probably would be ok as long as everything it oil free when you push the screen it.
