'27 Essex Super Six oil pump

baloga

Hello There All,

 My '27 Essex super six has lost oil pressure. Checked everything out and found that the plunger on the oil pump had a large gouge worn into it, which I had repaired. Does anybody out there have a procedure to prime the oil system prior to restarting the engine? Also any oil pump rebuild instructions as far as the ball placement, I'm assuming 2 balls go up top, and the other 2 balls go to the bottom.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You and have a gret day!

Just fill the cavity before you install the top two balls, and allow it to dribble through.  You are correct, two balls top and bottom.

Thanks Geoff for the info! Hope to have her running again tomorrow after work.

Cheers!
