mkoch Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Warm engine, 1,000 rpm, 50+ psi, 4,000rpm, about 30 psi oil pressure. This seems bass ackwards! Is it a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerGloyale Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 test with proper mechanical gauge to confirm. If that is the case, you have very worn clearances in the mains r some other major oil system problem (oil pump relief?) Hopefully it's a electrical malfunction with the sender or dash gauge. wouldn't be surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I suggesting putting a test gauge on the pump to see if the readings are accurate, or if it's a faulty sender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
