Yes, I understood exactly what you were saying. I don't think there is anyone on any similar site that not only did much more work on his/her car that they initially intended to do, but also experienced major costs overun....it can escalate quickly and easily......

"Eight other Mopars to maintain" Xcuda, you are the only gentleman I know that has a 'Harem of Mopars.....:lol:

Hey DPD, welcome to the forum. No offense, but you kinda sound like my son. Somehow you expect to make MORE money after you ditch your 9-5. How is that possible....inheritance, lottery. I admire what you are doing, but keep in mind that from this point forward, parts, labor, advice, fixing...

I am assuming you have fixed the problem by now. Correct?

Guys, I'm here cracking up :rofl: at EW's comment on the "D" in Donald. I guess he didn't know that he walked into the hornets nest........AND he was the one that started it.....lol. Some are OK at dishing it out, but they just can't take it in return......

Xcuda, Yes, my mistake. Its the 4th bearing..........sometime I can't count :lol:. Also, I had removed the plugs in the front of the block. Thats is why you don't see it. This was when I inserted a long brush to ensure the galley was clear.

Good Day, I have an update to my low/no oil pressure problem. The engine is a 413 wedge. I was able to locate four oil galley plugs. Two in the outside-rear-top of the block on either side of the cam and two in the front....one leading to the oil galley on the passenger side of the engine...

Xcuda, Chryco I appreciate the info on using the ZDDP. Will surely do that. Will also look at the Voodoo Cams as well.
