Drove up and got title today. First time Miss Agatha got any real driveing at 4K. The good news is no leaks, the bad news is oil pressure is only 20 lbs when fully warmed up and drops to about 8 at i

"Any ideas?" Nah. If gauge is good and oil pressure reliefe valve/spring & SEAT are in good condition, suspect worn oil pump. Cap'n. Bob '60 :{)

How do oil pumps wear out? Clearances grow due to continuous hydraulic pressures as in "errosion"? Wonder what the wear factor is upon initial start after sitting a while? Oh, hell.....they just DO,

Measure the thickness (not "Thickoness") of the pump and the housing. I may have a housing that's thick enough for your pump. The pumps can wear because, among other things, they are before the filt

Hi Jack. My motor had a similar problem, low running oil pressure and zero oil pressure at idle. It was also overheating. I removed the motor and opened it up.. The main bearaings were just starting

Oil pumps seem to be a bit of a problem these days. I just went thru a stack of old ones to find the best for a race motor I put together last weekend. The quality of new pumps varies lot. They wear

Why didn't they put them in the sump like everybody else? Was it because he Mini had a transmission there?

Yeah, but the oil doesn't drain out the pump when it sits.

My point was...I believe that if they'd put the oil pump in the usual place, they wouldn't have problems with the oil pump. BZ

Interesting point Billy, but it might be more academic than a reality problem, and I think it's not much of an issue on an engine used daily. I got nearly 300K on my last 1275 with the original oil p
