Just rebuilt a 362 corpse the a i got for free from work. it had a bad connecting rod bearing, so its a total rebuild with a new crankshaft assembly.
After the rebuild it runs great, but wasn't getting any oil (this may have been a problem from before the rebuild), so i checked the oiler and the plastic worm gear had a bad spot where it got stripped. Pulled the oiler too to check, and it has a small rough spot in its rotation. Replaced both with OEM parts. new pump turns smooth, oil flows nice.
2 hours of cutting later, and i have no oil on the bar. the oil pump feels stiff, and the worm gear is again ruined.
any ideas? I'm getting a little frustrated with it, since the big scary rebuild went great, and I cant get the newb repair to stick.
Thanks in advance,
Merv.
