Hi folks,
I need some advice at what to look first.
After 1 hour of 100mph on the Autobahn last weekend my oil pressure ended up at
almost nothing (1kg/cm2 = 10 lb/in2) when running idle.
The facts. The eninge was rebuilt something like 6.000 and 3 years miles ago
(so long before I got the car).
Normaly I got pressures of
3kg/cm2 cold oil and/or rpm over idle
2.5kg/cm2 cold oil and idle
2.0kg/cm2 hot oil and idle
Now I have
2.5 cold oil and rpm over idle
2.0 hot oil and rpm over idle
1.0 hot oil and idle
that's definitly not very much. But I got all the way back without the engine
falling apart ...
I would like some advice at which I should look first. And which pressures have
other V8s.
1. pressure gauge (don't trust that thing, that's easy to check)
2. ???
thanks for your help
Tom
