Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Time to get oil pressure at start up

[David Oxland]

I think your right Snow Man. Little engines like these really don't need them. It's not flow of oil that lubricates just the presence of lube; and there's lots of left over at start up until flow starts. It takes a long time fpr am engine to drain down enough to have a dry start.

Pressure and flow are only necessary for heat and dirt removal.

The oil wedge still prevails. It is certainly true that adding any unproven modifications comes with it's own set of risks.

Maby some Slik 50 would work ???????????????

After going to Amsoil and dual bypass filter my no oil pressure time was cut about half. Also I believe the synthetic may protect better in these conditions. I dont believe I have ever seen a post here that had to do with excessive bearing wear. Somewhere around here I read that Cummins made the bottom end waaay stronger than needed as it was designed to be used in 3rd world countries where fuel quality or lack of would stress the bearings real bad.



Here is the quote from another thread titled "When was the B series made" or something close to that.



Mark Chappell said the B and Cs were developed in the late 70s for 3th world multifuel tractor engines. They didn't know what kind of crummy fuel would be used so they built a humungous bottom end to take detonation. This works along with the Case story. Craig

Reply from 24 V

You wanted more replies , so my . 02 . Ihave a new 24V with 3. 5 K and timed oil pressure at start up on first start up after filter change[I filled the filter with oil before installing] . Time was two seconds to full pressure.

Now you guys have me curious . I am going to see if it takes longer for the truck to make pressure after it sets due to drainback. If it does that would tell us that normal drainback poses a time penalty as compared to manually filling a filter when you change your oil. The next time you change your oil try it and post results.

I have a poll up in 24v.

Seems that it is the normal condition for our Cummins.
