The engine is a fresh rebuilt 2056 stock D-jet engine running Brad Penn 10W40. Once the oil gets warm the idiot light comes on and the oil pressure gauge (electrical VDO) goes to almost nothing.
Thinking about trying Tangerine's Oil pressure relief valve: http://www.tangerineracing.com/oilpressurerelief.htm Is it pretty easy to install with the engine in the car? Does it slide in easily or does it need to be pressed into the bore? The description says it bypasses the oil cooler so is the oil always going through the oil cooler even on cold start? One more note. I misplaced the engine's original plunger and spring assembly so I bought a used one. I have since found the original spring and plunger. Just wondering if anyone thinks putting the original part back in will fix the problem. The original engine was built as a 1.7 and I don't recall it having this problem. |
