I probably won't have happened on my morning commute if it weren't for the
260Z. I know that's no excuse. But I've seen him before, weaving through the
heavy traffic and then taking a death (and speeding ticket) defying leap for it
when traffic gets light after the airport turnoff. And my wife took her car to
work today, so I was in the Datsun and . . .
listmates, you'll be happy to hear that by b-cam SU '69 2000 blew his socks off
until, at 6700 RPM's the oil (20-50W) pressure got to be too much and I blew a
great big oil leak (I haven't cleaned up the mess so I can't report what blew)
although there is no signs of any internal engine problems.
There are two possible lessons take away from this: 1) I should learn to drive
more cautiously 2) I should put something on the engine to blead off extra oil
pressure.
Since lesson 1 is a new trick this old (actually mid-30's) dog isn't likely to
learn, I thought I'd ask if anyone had any suggestions for what to do control
oil pressure under heavy load.
