Oil Pressure has left the building.

Sending unit brain fart?

Mechanical gauge?

Now that I really look back, ths all may have been for naught. When I switched out the sending unit, I was on pain meds and barely moving. It was quite loose when I removed it today to add the gauge tap. I used gas rated teflon and maybe it didn't complete the ground circuit with the heavy teflon and it not being tight. As far as the test gauge, I piped that into the oil sampling port. Maybe its screwed up. Either way, it runs.

And now you have a new oil pump and tach drive.

Better to make sure than trash the motor. Its just time and effort.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Yeah, I agree. Now it's on to the math part of the issue. Does the tach drive spin at the proper RPM to drive an M series cable drive tach. Working on it.

That's not nice.

 

[F18hornetM]

Its not nice....but funny. I to want to be retired someday!!

 

[Recovry4x4]

My advice for retirement is the same as for voting. Do them both early and often. Live is grand.

 

[cucvrus]

Good job. It just gave you the opportunity to do some extra maintenance that would have needed done anyway. And Life is Grand. Retirement is coming soon. I look forward to it. Have a great day.
