Replaced those parts and ran it this afternoon. Pulls the oil up but doesn't seem to make it to the bar, it runs out the bottom! Any thoughts?

If its running out the bottom of the saw then it must be oiling but not getting to the bar, is it the correct bar? are the oil holes in the bar blocked? the 455 never did over oil, if there is not enough pressure from the pump then maybe it is just a pump problem, there are ways of increasing the oil flow, it is all about increasing the throw of the pump shaft.

I once worked on a 350 that wasn't oiling, it had got so hot it had melted its bar mount and had to grind out the oil ways with a dremmel and carbide burr.

 

As adw says, the oil pump seems to be working but from oil isn't flowing from the pump to the bar oiler hole!

 

Does it oil if the bar is left off?
