Well, I posted about this a few months ago, but now I've verified that my 87 GXL is running at about-below 15PSi at idle... with a mechanical gauge. The adaptor was leaking alittle bit but im going to check agian, though I doubt itll make a difference...

The way it works is is this... at startup, pressure shoots up like it should, durring Idle, it stays around 30, then as soon it starts to idle normaly, it creaps down to 15psi or right above 0 on the stocker. Its sounding like the imfamous Front Cover O-ring of Death, but i wanted a second. The Oil Pan bolts are covered in oil but there are no aparent leaks (none very visable) not to mention my car also likes to ride alittle warm when this happens too.(half-way)

Asuming that its ether the Front E-shaft Thermopelet, the Oil Pan Gasket, Or the Front Cover O-ring of Death, I'd be stupid not to go ahead and replace them all at the same time and say the heck with it right? Well, thinking about it, ive been driveing the thing like this since the day I bought it. And its got 175,000 on the clock. Should I just goahead and pull the engine for a rebuild? or try replacing that other crap and see where it gets me?

Any information or ideas welcome.
Thanks.
