I have a sbc with a 4 turn 4 bolt box (in front of the frame)and signaw pump, all parts are from a junk yard.
The problem, It feals like manual steering.
For good measure i filled the system, blead the system, draned it, filled and blead it agan.
Symptoms I'm notising
With the front tires off the ground, engine off ( 1 finger lock to lock) i'ts easer to steer than with the engine running ( 4 fingers and some errort). I know that sounds weerd but i'ts dooing it.
With engine off cycle steering. (by pushing on tires or turning wheel) It will build extra oil untill you stop cycling. ie every thing at rest oil level at full mark, turn wheel oil pukes out resivore. Also when pushing on the tires it will be hard but still move fine, then all of a sudden go real easy. This makes me think air bubble?
With tires on the ground not much difference in steering effort between engine running and not.
There is no noises, ie loose belt low fluid, and no oil leaks.
I've been working on it 1 1/2 years and want to go wheeling with it for the first time this weekend PLEASE HELP!
