Hard-core CEG'er
Alright, when I first installed my engine, my engine was reading about 75 psi of oil pressure upon cold start up and about 25 psi when warmed up. My autometer oil pressure guage is tapped in the head FWIW. Well, now for the last few months, my oil pressure light has been flickering at idle once the engine has been warmed up. It's not the stock oil pressure sending unit, because now my autometer oil pressure gauge at idle reads slightly over 50 psi upon cold start up and about 5 psi once warmed up. Ive talked with Rick and we both agree that if it were the pump, it would most likely be either working or not working and nothing in between. Could some crap in the oil pickup screen be stuck and cause this much of a pressure drop? Any other ideas of what could cause this? I feel likes its just a matter of time before I spin a bearing.
