HELP did egr delete ARP studs black onyx head gasgkets, engine starts after it builds oil pressure within 5 minutes i have no oil on the dipstick! engine runs fine no smoke no smell also it loses oil pressure ater shut down. what i mean if i let it set 5 to 10 minutes i have to crank 20 or 30 seconds to build oil pressure again. then it fires and runs fine but I am building oil water mix in the degas bottle.

 

Soundsl like your oil cooler is busted.

 

new oil cooler was thinking the same thing. pulled the oil cooler plugged the coolant in and out pressurized and held under water.... no bubbles??

pressurized each cylinder withe 120lbs of air no air noise in the line returning to the cooling system. I thought maybe i had a problem with the head gasket, when i installed the new ARP studs i had some oil in the holes, didnt think anything of it on the first head. second head i pullled wiped the gasket clean blew out the holes and installed. the first time this happend I pressurized all cylinders and couldnt hear any difference. Just to rule out oil trapped inside the head gasket I pulled the head and replaced with an new one. much to my disappointment same result.
