Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Front main bearing looks like 1/4-1/3 of the oil hole is covering the corresponding oil hole in the block- any concern??? Fed387

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
I'm also alarmed hahaha. Ran for 15 minutes, pulled the pan off and still looked like oiling issues.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
I think the picture makes it look worse than what it is and if that were the only bearing with issues I would be concerned.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Not sure what to think about all this but it's still seems to be an oiling issue. I felt like I had looked at everything, Al Nyhus who has been a great help to me, pushed for me to take a closer look at the plug under the main cap. From the top and also looking from the side above the filter boss I could clearly see the plug was in far, (the bright spot in the picture from the side) blocking maybe 10- 20% of the passage leaving the filter. Is this part of the problem? I don't know, but it could be. Also ya'll do weird stuff with the oil pump I guess, well I don't know if its right wrong or indifferent. It ran with this "doctored" pump so it should be fine but I don't know crap about it, I'm going to take it out and replace it just to try something.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
The plug is correct under the rear cap. No need to touch it.
The front main bearing was slightly out of position making the hole look misaligned. Other than that I got nuthin

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Rich, the plug is pressed in far enough to be slightly blocking the main feed oil galley.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Thanks. I missed it the first time.
Not optimal but easiest thing to fix, so far ;-)
