Oil pressure is low...gauge does not read
car
87 T2 info -just put in a engine awhile back 4 months or so...bought a daily so its been in a garage -I removed the omp system as I was putting the engine back in, running premix now -Removed the crank pulley to give the pulley back to the owner i bought the engine from -there are no oil leaks around the outside of the engine or puddles on the ground. -sending unit seems to be working fine -i run 20w50 non syn Problem -when the car starts i have around 60 psi and as the car warms up the oil pressure goes down. -at crusing speeds of 3K I'm lucky to have over 10 psi off the factory gauge.(the car is fully warmed up) -I do think it is related to the thermowax plug or the oil pressure regulator(need to get the factory survice manual to see were it located) Answers - Just need to ask people if im overlooking somthing possibly -and if anyone would have some pointers that would be great thanks cameron |
Your best bet may be to get a hold of a mechanical oil pressure gauge and make sure that your guage readings are actually correct. Stock guages have a problem with not reading right.
