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.

 

did this start occuring after you did the studs or are those just your modds so far

 

Did you replace the oil cooler while you were doing the work? Sounds like a failed oil cooler

 

yes new high flow oil cooler, egr delete ARP bolts. I think the problem came when i started installing the ARP studs. seems there was some oil in couple of the holes that got in between the layers when I installed the studs. I noticed this on the drivers side and removed head and cleaned the layers. It is up and running now.

 

high flow oil cooler???

 

from IPR has wider larger passages

did studs gaskets and cooler when i had the problem everything is new, I thought i had found the issue but i was wrong replaced the right side head gasket again seen no signs of failure. pumps over a qt in a mile to the point it overflows the cooling system. pulled oil cooler pressure tested coolent side with cooler in water and now bubbles

 

did you have the heads decked to make sure they are flat?

 

So your saying your IPR oil cooler has failed???

 

That doesn't sound good for the quality of the IPR product ......

 

i would say it was a bad process in manufacturing not sure how it is assembled heat treated or?? IPR has been great for tech support as far as trouble shooting
