1. RE: Re Low oil pressure (score: 1): Author: "Robert M. Lang" <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Tue, 3 May 2005 23:04:21 -0400 (EDT); I agree that the oil viscosity will effect oil pressure. However, if you have a TR6 and you use something other than the recommended 20w50 oil, then you are on your own and I will assure you that yo; /html/6pack/2005-05/msg00044.html (7,339 bytes)
2. Re: Re Low oil pressure (score: 1): Author: Mitchel Seff <ms6453@optonline.net>; Date: Tue, 03 May 2005 23:24:19 -0400; I'm using 10-40w Castrol Syntec (yes, I know it's not a full synthetic). Why should I expect accelerated internal wear because of a different viscosity rating as long as my oil pressure is normal ? -; /html/6pack/2005-05/msg00045.html (6,805 bytes)
3. Re: Re Low oil pressure (score: 1): Author: "Robert M. Lang" <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Wed, 4 May 2005 08:28:01 -0400 (EDT); I am not an engineer, so I cannot answer that question. I do read the owner's manual, and that says "20w50" during normal operating temps. I know a bunch of folks that have run the 10w40 (which BTW i; /html/6pack/2005-05/msg00049.html (8,103 bytes)
4. RE: Re Low oil pressure (score: 1): Author: "Navarrette, Vance" <vance.navarrette@intel.com>; Date: Wed, 4 May 2005 09:44:37 -0700; The question is whether the oil film is resistant enough to shear to prevent metal to metal contact when at operating temperatures. The old school of thought was the greater the shear resistance of; /html/6pack/2005-05/msg00054.html (9,378 bytes)
5. Re Low oil pressure (score: 1): Author: tr6taylor@webtv.net (Sally or Dick Taylor); Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2005 23:30:27 -0700; Brian--Others have hinted that increasing the oil pressure relief spring tension will NOT help the numbers seen on the dash gauge. This is pretty much correct. The only added pressure from doing this; /html/6pack/2005-04/msg00428.html (7,671 bytes)
6. RE: Re Low oil pressure (score: 1): Author: "Rick & Lori O" <trinitygadget@alltel.net>; Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2005 07:45:14 -0400; Brian--If your low oil pressure is insensitive to engine rpm, your main bearings are probably the bad actors. But if your pressure drops with increasing rpm, the rod bearings are shot (centrifugal fo; /html/6pack/2005-04/msg00432.html (7,032 bytes)

RE: Re Low oil pressure (score: 1): Author: "Navarrette, Vance" <vance.navarrette@intel.com>; Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2005 08:00:47 -0700; I have found this discussion very interesting, but it seems to me that we are omitting a very important point. Oil pressure can be modulated by the viscosity and type of oil used, no? So it seems th; /html/6pack/2005-04/msg00434.html (8,311 bytes)
8. Re Low oil pressure (score: 1): Author: "Terry Geiger" <tgeiger@ShoalsBritishCars.org>; Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2005 10:58:33 -0500; How are the cam bearings on your engine? Worn cam bearings (or cam journals) can cause low oil pressure. I just finish line boring and installing cam bearings and camshaft in my engine (JK Jackson di; /html/6pack/2005-04/msg00435.html (7,079 bytes)
9. Re: Re Low oil pressure (score: 1): Author: GSFuqua1@aol.com; Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2005 12:15:23 EDT; I certainly agree with Vance that the thread is overlooking the oil viscosity affect. However, unless the engine has been newly rebuilt with new seals, pump, rings, valve guides, etc., I would recomm; /html/6pack/2005-04/msg00436.html (7,064 bytes)
