How often do you add oil? When you check the oil, how low is it? Do you got smoke coming out of the exhaust? You should add a mechanical oil pressure gauge (T it at the head). It'll give you your operating oil pressure readings during start up, idle, and driving.

It'll give you your operating oil pressure readings during start up, idle, and driving. so far I've add oil once in 2900my miles an it was only half a quart I check the oil every morning now before I ever start it up ok I like the idea of the gauge but where at on the head do I t it at? not 100%pretty on the smoke since its been in the low 40s here so it looks like its smoking even if it isn't but I kno last week for sure it wasn't smoking -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy
