What would cause oil pressure to be delayed being picked-up by the sending unit? Almost positive there is no (or not much) oil pressure being generated by the oil pump for several seconds (10 to 12) immediately after starting. I have convinced myself there is a definite engine noise change when the oil sending unit starts registering pressure.
Is there maybe check valves that should be holding the oil so all the galleries don't need to fill at the same time?
What would you look for first?
New oil and filter change doesn't have a noticable effect on slow pressure build up.
Thanks for any advice you may have to share. Mike
