Once warm my oil pressure falls below 10psi and the green light comes on at idle.
I feel hot air coming out the oil fill. So I suspect the oil is getting frothy and not able to do it's job. I have carbs. Timing is adjusted to Pelical artical recommended 34ish* BTDC. Maybe that's too much? Just did an oil change to try to remedy this. It's not buring oil. |

Sorry - I did leave out a few details...
- I'm using 20/50 Castrol - I've had the car for a year. it was rebuilt before that. they put 2.0 heads on a 1.7 case. - Not sure I can vouch for the health of the bearings or pump - but startup/cold pressure is 40ish - nothing special about the engine = 2.0L w/ dual IDF44 - runs strong. - I believe it is a stock oil pump - oil level is a hair above the top line - idle at 1k rpm - warm oil pressure @2k rpm = 20ish, 3k rpm = 30ish - resent oil change (did not smell like gas) - cleaned a bit of gunk out of the sump screen I take it that feeling air coming out the oil filler is normal? I am using VDO pressure guage and a dual post sender (not sure of the brand). Many posts have suggested sender problems. I will try another sender or a mechanical guage. |
