[Nobbc] Suggestions, please

[Mike Gianandrea]

Hi Greg,

I had my oil pressure gauge for my TR4 repaired at West Valley Instruments 
in Reseda, suggested to me by Moss Motors. He did it overnight for me, 
charged me $93.75 plus tax and freight.. It worked for two days, but my 
newly rebuilt motor was putting a consistant 100 PSI, when it should have 
been putting out about 60 PSI. Consequently, the gauge started leaking 
again. I adjusted the oil pressure down to 60-70 PSI, and re-repaired the 
gauge myself, and it has been working fine since. The gentleman's name is 
Morris, Tel 818-758-9500. I can't blame the failure of my gauge on him, with 
my oil pressure as high as it was, and he is referred by Moss, so who knows. 
You could check with Moss as to any complaints, and ask Morris about a 
warranty.

Michael
64 TR4
