I bought this allegedly running-when-it-was-pulled 2L engine last year to upgrade to 2.056L just to find out it already had 96mm P&C.
Internals turns smoothly so I thought I'd do the flame test and clean the engine and put it back together. The engine runs strong and smooth. As I started driving it harder I noticed on fast deceleration the oil light would come on. If I let the engine speed come down naturally from about 2k, the oil light doesn't come on. Last night coming off the highway running about 3.2k, I immediately shifted into neutral to let the engine slow on its own, the oil light came on for a few seconds as the engine was now idling. I don't have an oil pressure gauge on it to see where the oil pressure is during operation. Any ideas of what to look at? Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

Chris Foley was selling a pressure booster that replaced the spring and piston in the relief cavity, IIRC.
I'd put a pressure guage on it to see what your pressure actually is. You should be getting about 10 PSI for every 1000 RPM. The stock idiot light goes off between 2 and 6 PSI, so hopefully the sender on your car is on the higher end of that range. Zach |

Zach (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That oil pressure relief valve is a problematic design. |
