: My oil lite came on last nite after beating on
: my motor.Ok I run 15w50 or something like
: that and the sender is at the pump. I hooked
: up the gauge today and I got about 8PSI at
: idle,takes a wile for it to come to that.
: And Max of about 35PSI.
:
: When I shut the motor off it takes a good
: 10secs for the PSI to drop back down to
: zero. So what little PSI I have is holding
: well. Sound like the bypass valve maybe?

: The stuck relief valve theory is easy enough to
: check by removing the plug at the lower
: front of the oil pump. If the barrel valve
: slides in & out freely, the problem is
: somewhere else.
: DD

: Oil presure DOES grow on trees...
:
: Im sitting at the light right by my work and im
: looking at the guage and its reading 5psi

: just now. We had a new pump in stock for
