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)

Internal clearances may be too high.
But I would check all the other stuff first, and get a pressure gauge on there asap. Until you know what your pressure is dropping to, all we are doing is spit balling. I don't like the dual pole senders, BTW. They have the idiot light set at about 9 PSI, much higher then the stock sender. I have a single pole pressure sender, and a stock idiot light sender on a Y block. |

About the Y block, is this the metal plumbing Y available at hardware stores or special brass Y? Got a pic? Also, where to buy an oil pressure gauge and sender? I didn't see anything on Pelican. |
