Hey guys i got a built 2.0 ams race balance shaft the bearing turned 180 degrees and im geting about 20psi on start up and dropping down to 0.
The oil changes to a cappuchino color and a bunch oil bubbles in it looks like im getting air into my oil. I know its not coolent going in. Im considering pulling the oil pump off to see whats going on in there. Please help
Thanks

Sounds like the oil is overfilled. That's usually causes there to be bubbles on the dip stick, but I don't know of that's the whole problem. Make sure your dip stick tube is installed right.

 

Drain some oil, put it in a glass and let it sit. If the color goes away it is air. If you get two layers or a layer plus goo, it is coolant.

 

hmmm... i had a stubby shaft installed in my motor...then switched to the ams race shaft... my pressure is at 40 on idle...

 

I would consider taking a sample and sending it to a lab to be analyzed. It almost sounds like there is water in the oil causing the milky discoloration (if that's what you meant by cappuccino colored).

Yeah i figured it out theres a oil pressure relief valve in the oil filter housing which was brand new and it disnt come with 1 so i put the oilpp assembly back in and fired it up and had great oil pressure
