Hey,
So I'm running 20w50 and losing oil pressure after the car has warmed up. I heard I can take out th oil pressure relief valve, stretch the spring a bit (or replace it with a heavier duty one) and get an increase in pressure. Now there's more than one...like three right? Which one should I pull out? Is there even any truth to this? Right now I'm running at 0-2 psi at idle and 20-25psi at 3k push rod seals are leaking like crazy (fixing those next weekend and i thought i would do this at the same time.) Maybe this is just covering up other problems, but I don't have a place to rebuild an engine, so I needs' me a quick fix... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Thanks |
