No oil pressure round three. Resolution found!

[Dieselcrawler]

well, after a long battle, the issue has been found. To those who said a blockage in the galley, you were right! No idea what it is, or where it came from, but this was found in the main oil galley pretty much right where it intersects with the feed for the tappet galley. Took some persuasion to get it out. It is hard plastic, about 1.5 inches long. I can unfold it and fount it to be cylindrical in shape.

Holy cow. Looks almost like electrical tape.

So glad you finally found it. But I'm sure I'm not as glad as you are!

Wow how did that get in there

 

[gandalf]

Any thoughts on what it is? It looks sort of like the barrel from a ballpoint pen, chewed up a bit.

Does it seem like the same thing that was in the pan?

Whatever it is had to have gotten past the filter right? Or been part of the filter?

After meeting you and seeing how you work, I had no doubt that you would eventually solve the mystery.

It's half inch in diameter but when I uncurl it it ends up around a 1.5 inch circle

No, that stuff I figured out, was exhaust valve seals. Found some under the pass side cover

Antidrain back valve out of a filter maybe?

Antidrain back valve out of a filter maybe?

That would be my guess as well.

I'll admit that I'm no oil filter expert, but I didn't think that ours had an antidrainback valve. I thought that if the filter was basically verticle, then it didn't need one. On the other hand, I am glad that you found the issue.

Would be my guess....... But I'm clueless

Ummm
Phawk yikes .
Be interested in the out come of what it is.

Could it have been something that was just dropped into the filter? Does the filtered oil come out of the center hole of the filter?

If I remember correctly (probably not) it goes in the middle and comes out around the edge... I googled it once out of curiosity, but that was a long time ago.
