ok guys. my car is a stcok 2.0 w/ euro pistons and weber 44's. It has a stock oil pump on it. Today it was 100 degrees outside (yikes!!!). After driving my car to school and back (20 minutes at 70+ mph) the oil light will flicker on at idle, so i blip it with my foot to keep it above 1000 rpms. running castrol 20w-50
questions: *Is my oil getting to the point where it thins out and pump cant pump it? *Do i need a new oil pump? (im guessing- was a used pump, that had no scoring etc... good to go so i thought) *would a tuna can help with this? (extra 1/2 quart of oil cant hurt) *If i need a new pump, which one? how do i get a melling to not leak? WHat is involved in O-ringing the melling? My carbs are tuned pretty well, dont think they are running lean... |
