I have a '76 MGB which, after 2 years of work, is now running (Hurrah!).
When it starts, however, it takes 2-4 seconds before the oil pressure comes
up. Mind you, these are 2-4 very long seconds (the engine makes a nasty
grinding noise until pressure is up).
My questsions:
1. Is this normal?
2. Is this common? Has anybody else experienced this, and if so, how can
it be fixed?
3. Is there a particular brand and/or weight of oil that might help? A
specific type of filter?
4. (Please don't take away my British-cars privliges and send me to
Rec.auto for posting this question...) Might Slick50 make any difference?
(I'm almost too embarrased to ask...)
Thanks!
