I have a hell of a story to tell. We have been spending money like crazy on big block parts and just found out our problem and I need to share it because the manufactures are not going to.
I have been have a spinning rod bearing and oil pressure problem for about 5 years now and have just found the problem. I installed a set of arp main studs and nuts in my motor and when I installed the oil pump the housing on the pump does not clear the nut on the stud. When you tighten the pump it gets close to being seated properly but keep around .010" gap on one side. oil sprays out the gap and doesn't feed the motor. I talked to Melling the have completely recast it's bbc HV77 a year and a half ago because of so many problems. ARP has begun putting a note to check for clearance here and supplied shorter and 12 point nuts to alleviate the problem. I'm glad this page is up.
