RE: Not likely the sending unit
By Martin Micheelsen - 01/10/2003 6:14:38 PM; IP 66.135.226.87
The oil pressure gage goes to zero when the engine is off. Since last night the pressure readings have retreated somewhat and now show approx 45 psi in idle and approx 75 psi at 2000 rpm. These readings should be around 25-35 in idle and 60-65 at 2000 rpm.

In regard to the cork - I don't think very much. I covered the rocker arms with rags while working the upper part and lower front part , but in the back there is hardly any space for scraping, and there I worked without anything covering the drain holes. When done I picked and vacumed up the pieces I could see. The work was done at night and a larger piece could have gone down there without being noticed.

Is there a major risks of toasting the engine between now and April without knowing it ?

This thread, so far...
