Title: It's Drivin
Post by: Matt on April 25, 2005, 05:35:33 PM

So after a month of tinkerin, I finally took the 67 through aircare and it passed. I was pretty stoked this mornin! then on the way home I noticed the oil pressure light flicker at idle, I bought a mech. oil gauge and changed the oil to 20w 50, without any success. After a good run out in the country this afternoon (with fresh oil) I brought it back and the pressure read about 4psi at idle and the light started to flicker again. It looks like I may be doing an engine swap sooner then I thought. unless anyone knows how to successfully raise the oil pressure? those booster kits are as usefull as tits on a bull.

Matt, The Oil pump may be worn and not making enough PSI or worse the eng may need a rebuild. For now I'd try one of our 26 or 30 mm oil pumps.
