- I have been having low oil pressure problems, even after a major overhaul, on my series V. I read an article somewhere about modifying the oil pressure regulator valve. As I recall, a hole is drille

- After engine rebuild my oil pressure is quite low. I am pretty sure there is air in the tube from engine to gauge. I could fill it partly, and it got better. I am wondering if it is only that air or

- Assuming you have the correct tolerance between the bearings, and the crank, then it is most probably the oil pump, unfortunately. Personally, I always replace the oil pump, or at least check the to

- Sir- IF it is air, which I doubt, then you need to crack the fitting loose on the back of the gauge- unless it is an earlier model electric gauge. Since you mentioned air I will contimue to think it

- Lauri- I read the last post first. Now I know I was right in the relief valve,its placement and the problems it causes. The drawing is very good as is the post. Obviously the new style regulates pres

- Oh it can be much more than that. Any of the white metal bearings will reduce oil pressure if the clearances are not to spec. Additionally, there is an internal oiling pipe that pees oil on the cam

- I think the oil pressure valves can mess up in different ways. The one that came installed on my SIV (1725 engine)was an early style and it stuck. I cleaned it and it stuck again. That valve and also

- The thing is, that gauge seems to act at it should, but pressure is too low as well at idle as with revs. It seems as it shows all time too little pressure. I could fill the pipe halfways, and it g
