lcz06 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I just got finished replacing my oil pressure sensor and creating a pcv system. So when I went to start up the motor everything seem to run as normal but I still have low oil pressure (idle still remains 20-25 psi/30-35 upon start up). As you can see from the following video I had some other surprises in store for me…. http://www.zippyvideos.com/8979423897476536/smoke2/ From what I can tell their seems to be clear smoke coming from under neither the headers but this could just be condensation. I also saw what appears to be a leak of some kind that I’ll have to investigate. I give up and will not attempt to remedy a solution for the oil pressure any longer and will be pulling the block come spring/summer.

rl Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Does the oil pressure increase quickly when you rev it? That's not an abnormal oil pressure for hot idle, depending on how the motor is set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 oil pressure is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
