RE: oil pressure - 5/8/2008 11:05:56 PM    93ranger   Posts: 48 Joined: 3/22/2008 Status: offline well when its cold the motor starts and the oil pressure is at 35psi but it was a ticking noise. when it warms up oil pressure drops to about 15psi AND THE ticking gets super quite. When i acclurate the psi goes up every 10psi with every 1000th rpm. (in reply to sleeper_inc) Post #: 9

RE: oil pressure - 5/9/2008 6:28:46 AM    sleeper_inc Posts: 8738 Joined: 9/1/2006 From: Regina Beach, Sask Status: offline 15psi when warm? do you have 40-60 PSI at 2000rpm? if not then your oil pressure is low and I would tell you to check your aux gear and your oil pump shaft. If those check out then its almost time for a rebuild _____________________________ Project No Hands 2.3 Tech Articles Waiting for a real race.. (in reply to 93ranger) Post #: 10

RE: oil pressure - 5/11/2008 1:31:10 AM    93ranger   Posts: 48 Joined: 3/22/2008 Status: offline its a new motor that has been rebuilt and the aux shaft is fine the motor builder said so but we never replaced the oil pump shaft could that be, When im at 35psi at 2,000rpms (in reply to sleeper_inc) Post #: 11

RE: oil pressure - 5/11/2008 5:06:56 PM    sleeper_inc Posts: 8738 Joined: 9/1/2006 From: Regina Beach, Sask Status: offline You should be getting 40-60 PSI @2000 rpms. The oil pump shaft should just pull right out _____________________________ Project No Hands 2.3 Tech Articles Waiting for a real race.. (in reply to 93ranger) Post #: 13
