The OEL light flickers where idle should be.

It's .5qt over.

I have to put 80 miles on her this PM, I don't want to roll til I have opinions.

It's setup WAY rich.

I had the same problem a week ago! I went out and purchased a mechanical pressure gauge and installed it! There was plenty of pressure so it is the sender that was bad!

Jeff

The gauge!

Keep in mind the photos are of a 6 so it will be a bit different on a 4! It cost me $19.99 to check it!

Jeff

Well..

I am worried, I'll just hold it off idle, and let Crumley deal with it in the AM.

"Flicker, flicker OEL light, how I wish you'd go out tonight..."

Wish me luck #2!

Rent this tool.

Well, it depends where your idle is set at.

800rpm and with the oil hot, yes - it can flicker at idle. Also, it depends what weight oil. 30wt? You bet.

My motor gets pretty low pressure at idle when she's nice and hot. My friends 2056 with a 30mm T1 pump will have it's oil light flicker at idle.

Blip the throttle and it goes out - that is normal.

What wieght oil are you running again?

Tom

30wt, non-detergent, broke in cam today, and she has 83 miles on her.

Yeah, @ 1000 and under, sick.



This motor sounds like it has a motor hidden in it, unlike the first, which sounded like a warp core going critical.

Thanks for all the stuff, I have to get over the paranoia of losing the first motor, I am sure I will sleep better.

I am looking for a combo to get press/temp in the dash right now.

I am scared without it, and I'll bet anal with it.. Jees..

$20 sounds... inexpensive..




M

Yes, the gauge was a cheep one! I just wanted to test the pressure! I plan on doing something like Kellzey!

You plan on doing 'something' like Kellzey?

Do what he didn't do! (if you can find something he hasn't done!)



Maybe seek professional help? HE'S CRAZY!



M

Somebodys gota do it!!

Jeff

I use two senders, one for the light and a second for the gauge. The oil light is a BIG red one but I guess I am a little paranoid though....

HEY!!!!

I resemble that remark!

Karl doesnt hold back and gives everything 110% and I respect that. He is an inspiration to us all.

Damnnit! He's giving you free parts, isn't he!? Money? Letting you touch his car?

Have to admit, he is cute, who is that holding him in his avatar?
