I am new to Stovebolt and I have a question about the motor that I have taken apart. There are no oil nozzles in the oil pan. The oil pump goes straight into the block. Am I missing something? It is a 235 from 1958-1960 truck I believe. It had a recent (?) rebuild with new .030 over pistons and such.
I removed the engine just to restore the engine bay and dress up the motor in my 1950 styleline, not to fix anything since nothing was broken. All cylinders were 120-130 compression and just a very little white puff of smoke when starting. But as the story goes. " While I was there" I decided to look at the internals. The entire inside of the engine looks great.
Do I have a problem? Any reference info would be great.
Thanks for any help.

As far as I know the pan is just that - a pan. The oil pump is near the rear of the block, bolted to it with a pick up which drops into the oil pan to pick up oil. There could be baffles in the pan to keep the oil from gathering in one spot when you are accelerating or braking. Maybe I am missing something here and certainly some of our talented and experienced members will set us straight. | | |

Kent :confused: Thanks Baldy. What has me confused is the manual for 1958-1962 235 ci engines show a set of oil nozzles. see picture linked. [img] http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/boerdoc/detail?.dir=18db&.dnm=692c.jpg&.src=ph[/img] How do you check that all oil passages are flowing freely? | | |

In the link the #23 is called oil delivery pipe. It is to the left of the oil pump, halfway to th end of the pan. There are nozzles that come off of it. I just noted that the title for the drawing says "Typical" maybe this is for something else.
Thanks for all the help.

Welcome to Stovebolt land! Your 58 235 does not require the oil nozzles or troughs that the older motors had. Your rod caps do not have dippers and the crank shaft is drilled with an oil passage to each rod throw. Your good to go!
