Hi team,
I’m dealing with an oil leak and suspect it may be a gummed up oil pressure relief valve/spring. Best I can tell, the pressure is blowing out the oil filter seal. I’ve replaced the oil cooler seals (twice in fact, just to make sure),the oil filter and there’s no leak around the oil pressure sensor line. No pushrod tube leaks either. Are there pressure valve/kit replacements that are better than others, for a stock ‘73 2.0? Spirited street use. I see an Empi kit and one from Tangerine Racing. Looking for opinions on products. |

Were you checking that with a mechanical gauge? 65 pounds, idle or not, is definitely not right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Yes sir, mechanical gauge and electronic, and they match. I’ve had the car for three years and it’s alway been that high. I didn’t know better until I’ve been trying to figure this out. I’ve ordered the Tangerine Racing relief valve. If I’m lucky, It’ll solve it. |
