Well as the title says is all gone tits up.
I started my rebuilt engine yesterday and broke in the cam, today was supposed to be the first drive. I decided to check the actual oil pressure so I pulled the pressure switch and connected my gauge. There was no pressure even at 2k rpm. The pump is working but there is no pressure. Obviously the oil must be going somewhere, if the high pressure relief plunger is stuck open would this explain what's happening? Appreciate some help |

I would drain the oil and check for metal flakes just to make sure you haven't damaged anything before you try starting it again.

I took the car out for a short spin. There was oil pressure when I started. The engine ran very well, then when I pulled up I at a stop light the idiot light came on, I reved the engine and at around 2000 I got pressure. To summarize; The idiot light comes on when the engine is warm and under 2000 rpm. Anyone got any ideas? |

One thing that can cause low oil pressure in a system that has properly operating oil pump & pressure relief: Worn out bearings. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
