Getting disturbingly low oil pressure. brought the car to be diagnosed, one of my issues was that after driving for half hour maybe longer, at IDEL rpm only, the oil sensor light would come on sometimes just flicker. mech called me and told me that at 3k i was only pushing 15psi which is damn low. i dropped my oil pan yesterday to have a look see and everything looked ok. my bearings were tight, that and i never had any knocking noise while driving. my pick up screen was clean and clear. only thing i can think of would be oil pump but how could i tell without pulling it off?

compression has nothing to do with oil pressure.

QUOTE (Bitter @ Jun 25, 2010 - 10:07 PM)  compression has nothing to do with oil pressure. Thats right, however I think it relevant if the engine is worn enough to need an oil pump to do a compression check. Might need to do a whole lot more work and I'd want to gauge if it's better to swap a new engine in there. The fact that the engine was just rebuilt changes this though. In that case then I guess whoever rebuilt it thought the pump was still good, or didn't bother to inspect it. This post has been edited by Jamchell: Jun 25, 2010 - 10:16 PM |
