I am adding a mechanical oil pressure gauge to my soob, 87 gl wagon. I am looking for advice on how other people ran theirs’. Should I drill a hole though the firewall? Or should I go though the floor board? Is there some other easy/good way to run the line? -=fred=-

Very Nice!

Well I decided to run to the local parts store and buy some seafoam on my lunch break. The radio doses not work in her yet, so I had my I-pod turned up to drown out the noise. By the time I was in the next town over, about a 15 min drive, the noise had stopped again. So I guess I will just keep an eye on it, or would it be ear, and run a second engine flush at the next oil change. Thanks for the input! -=fred=-

I am glad to hear that is nothing to really worry about. But today the tick is back. Has anyone really just put ATF in their crank case and let it run for an hour? Chould this mean I have low oil pressure? Maybe I will try some Seafoam. It just kills me that when I bought the car there was no tick. I try and give her a tune up and the tick starts. Thanks again for the help. -=fred=-

Thanks for the great info. I just got back from a test drive and the noise is gone! :cool: I pulled my oil drain plug and let out some oil and replaced it with ATF. I was not brave enough to let it all out and put in ATF. I let it idle for 20 mins and replace the oil with new along with a new oil filter. Thank you for the fast reply and the great help. -=fred=-

Hello all! Well here is my story, I just bought a 87 gl wagon last week and I love the car. I just changed the oil, oil filter, air filter, plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor over the weekend. Now yesterday, it started making some rattley lifter noise if I just did not change the oil I would guess that it was low. I checked the dip stick just to be sure and the oil is right up to the F hole. (Gee that sounds funny) Any help on solving this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -=fred=-
