So like the title says im having engine problems on my new engine. I just built it. Ross .020 pistons, eagle rods, balance shaft eliminator kit, bc titanium springs/retainers, new valves, etc. Well I got it in and started it up and right away I noticed low oil pressure. I put a new oil pump in it, im running 5w 20 conventional oil for break in. I replaced the front balance shaft bearing seat where the oil is and I checked the back one to make sure it didnt have one of the oil feed holes, I read that I didnt need to change the back one. I just cant figure out why it is low. Its low at idle to the point where the light will come on but then it will come up when I increase rpms of course.
Another problem is, when I try to rev or anything it seems like the throttle response is soooo bad. Ill throttle into it and it will like dog out and will keep doing that until I pull back on the throttle. Now one thing im thinking that may be is my O2 sensor. I had a check engine light and i pulled it up on link and it said O2 circuit malfunction. Not rear O2 but just O2 by itself, so thats why I figured its my O2 causing me trouble there.
Idk im stumped about the oil pressure situation though. I'm hoping someone else has ran into this problem and can help. Thanks!
