MGs do have oil pumps. The oil pump rarely wears out to the point that it would cause oil pressure to drop off. The normal oil is 20W50 in a B engine; you should try to find out what weight the owner

I'm off in the morning to look at buying a B-GT, and had one question for the list. Since I've had an MG for a year and a half, I have an idea of the usual things to look for in terms of rust and wha

Oil pressure is typically higher at startup (when the oil is cold and thick), and drops after reaching operating temperature (when the oil is hot and flows better). So long as it maintains around 25p

Contrary to what the GT owner told you, the engine has (or at least we can safely say it left the factory with) an oil pump. Because it has an oil pump, it also has a spring and a relief valve, as t

My guess: Heat-related: when the oil thins some with heat, the pressure goes down. Reason: Possibly the pressure-relief valve is jammed partly open. I have had this happen after a heavy thrash in the
