Crank bolt tight, still have issues? Gearbox bypass?
OK,
So I took a couple weeks off the project. I came back to the 80 project and decided to haul it to the dealer to have them properly torque the crank bolt.
They swear they have it to 305 ft lbs, and still I have low PS assist. Oil pressure seems a bit low, but within specs.
I'll attack it as separate issues for now.
So far, they have replaced the pump, no change.
Replaced the gearbox, no change.
Cleaned some sand from the powder coater out of the PS reservoir, and now some change, but assist goeas away quickly after start up, and fluid gets hot.
Bypassed the aftermarket PS cooler, for now.
Current plan is to reseal the gearbox.
Any other ideas?
