hi,
my 1st post here
Rebuilt engine just installed by pros, oil pressure is low idle=20-25psi, 2000rpm=30-40psi. I did the build but the pro was supposed to run the engine before the install. There were comm. problems with his employees so it did't get started until after. What's done is done, now i have to manage the issue.
This cat has no oil-pr gauge, only a low-pr horn which remains silent. Is this an urgent issue or can i wait for spring?
The oil pump relief-bypass is accessible with oil pan removal, is it a very likely suspect? Changing the pump requires front cover removal i think. More than that requires engine removal.
I may need guidance material for the engine removal/installation, does anyone know of any. I have the service manual but it's no help for this.
thanks for any words of wisdom
