LOW OIL PRESSURE

1. Pressure gauge not reading properly – double check with another mechanical PSI gauge
2. Pressure relief valve in camplate leaking, sticking open or not seating properly – see Feuling camplate PSI test tool Part #9010
3. Camplate scored at oil pump mounting surface, pressure gears and or housing scored from debris running through oil pump
4. Camplate top plug not sealing, camplate leaking at oil passages – warped camplate
5. Pinched Oil Pump O-ring(s)
6. Excessive crankshaft pinion shaft run out causing oil cavataion
7. Intermittent oil psi loss on bagger/FL models during hard acceleration - oil tank baffle shifted & blocking oil pick up hole
8. Miss alignment of oil pump – center camplate to pinion shaft then oil pump to pinion shaft by rotating engine over

NO OIL PRESSURE

1. Pressure relief valve stuck open in camplate – see Feuling camplate PSI test tool Part #9010
2. Missing plug in camplate face (boss vs. no boss)
3. Air lock in oiling system – fill oil filter full of oil - If this is the initial engine start up
4. Broken oil pump gears - gears & housings not lubricated properly during install, debris running through engine & or excessive run out- in pinion shaft
5. Broken piston cooling jets
6. Stock oil pump installed on Feuling camplate

WET SUMPING/BLOW – BY

1. To verify if engine is wet sumping, run engine to operating temperature then shut down and pull the allen head plug from bottom of- engine case. Measure oil and if more than 5oz. drains from the sump then there is a wet sumping issue.
2. Oil level too high - run oil level no more than 3/4 - 7/8 full cold
3. Sub seal of oil pump miss aligned with the scavenge port hole of the engine case.
4. Piston rings not seated, causing oiling system cavitations, run a cylinder leak down test - Vent oil tank - Feuling’s oil tank breather kits
5. Scavenge gears and or housing scored from debris running through oil pump causing out of tolerance scavenge side of oil pump
6. Excessive run out in pinion shaft - causing oil pump/system cavitation
7. Pinched Oil Pump O-ring(s
8. FL/Baggers – 6 speed trans with dipstick in rear of trans can allow more oil to be added to oil tank and not show on dipstick
9. Excessive RPM on rev limiter, de-seated rings
10. Flapper valves in breathers stuck
11. Return oil passages plugged, pick-up hole in crankcase plugged

DIPSTICK BLOW OUT

1. Excessive cylinder leak down – run a cylinder leak down test
2. Oil level too high, run oil level 3/4 - 7/8 full cold
3. Rocker housing gaskets are wrong or installed improperly
4. Spark knock, piston detonation, rings not seated or coming un-seated under hard acceleration
5. Excessive RPM on rev limiter, de-seating rings
6. Vent oil tank – see Feuling oil tank breather kits

NOISY VALVE-TRAIN

1. Lifter to lifter bore clearance too large, Feuling recommends a clearance of 0.001” - 0.0015” for proper lifter performance
2. Pushrods flexing hitting pushrod tubes - look for a shiny ring witness mark around pushrod normally seen towards the cylinder head.
3. Low oil pressure
4. Rocker arms/bushings out of tolerance
5. Valve spring to camshaft combination creating valve-train separation – See Feuling Beehive valve springs
6. Leaky/broken piston cooling jets
7. Clearance for roller rocker arms on under side of rocker box cover
8. Steep ramped camshafts, valves closing so fast the valves bounce off valve seats
9. Pushrod center oil hole plugged
