Rich, >4. When I drained the oil pan to do the head gasket job, I got a ton >of raw fuel due to faulty fuel components. The oil was washed away by >fuel, the whole engine got kind of dried out so it squeaks. What ? dried out ? now it squeaks ???? fauly fuel components ? Did you forget to fill in 7 quarts of oil ? I know a guy who asked where to fill in the oil. He started pouring it into the gas tank, I hope you didn't ;-) >5. Taking some advice, I put a bit of oil in the sparkplug holes to >pre-lube the engine. It works. The engine doesn't squeak or make ANY >untoward noises. BUT, when enough unburned fuel enters the combustion >chamber, is washes it away and the squeak returns. Even with no oil in the combustion chamber there shouldn't be any noise from there. If so - something is wrong ! Your oil pump will pump enough oil when cranking. I guess you already tried cranking it for a while, didn't you ? How much oil did you pour in there ? A few drops is enough ! If too much - it won't start ! What about your piston rings ? are they squeaking because they are broken or the cylinder ist rusted due to humidity outside when it was open ?? >I need the engine to fire to suck up some oil from the sump and pump >it to the top. You will not achieve normal oil pressure from the >starter. yes wou will get enough pressure oil from your starter. The oil is cold and therefore you get almost maximum pressure ! At least this is what my gauge showed on my other car when I replace the motor lately. >I have a new Optima battery. The engine just seems tight from a >combination of being really dry and having good compression from new >head gaskets. A new battery doesn't mean that it is charged. what do you mean with really dry ? With oil in the cylinder you get the best compression you can imagine. pouring a few drops of oil into the cylinder is a cheap trick if you want to manipulate a pressure test ! Elvis Yahoo!
