Hey Guy's, here is my current situation.
I have a 1980 B, the engine was rebuilt a couple thousand miles ago. I am in the process of moving, and yesterday I was transporting the car from my old house to my new house, the drive is 6.5 miles total. Anyway, about 4 miles into the drive the car suddenenly lost a lot of it's acceleration power and when l looked at the gauges I noticed I had no oil pressure. When I opened the hood I noticed one of the lines to my oil cooler blew and there was oil all over the hood and componets of the engine.
Anyway, I guess my question is, in this situation is a major loss of power normal? I didn't hear any sounds that really indicated anything rattling in the engine, and I didn't have any smoke coming from my exhaust. The oil I run in the car is RotellaT 30 and I usually put Marvel's Mystery Oil in the car too.
Should the replacement of the oil hose fix the problem or is there probably more damage there.
Thanks for the help.
