Re: oil pressure

ok Kevtherev , could you put the oil gauge on the low pressure and do the same test, then we could see what the pressure difference is between the 2, this would gives a rough percentage loss.

Re: oil pressure

Hi Itchyfeet, no it has been good reading, the other thing to consider is as the oil gets hot it gets thinner so any irregularity's in the piston and its seat could be a point of pressure loss, so guess its worth taking out and cleaning well, and see if you can see the seat surface, may try the wash...

Re: oil pressure

Hi itchyfeet, have the same gauge as you, and looking at your RPM would say the same sort of readings, it currently has Halfords 20/50 classic with a mann filter, both changed last week.

oil pressure

Have fitted an oil pressure gauge to the 0.3 bar location on my DJ engine, but at 2000 rpm have only got about 1.2 bar, as this is after the big ends am main bearings guess it will be lower than where they suggest checking at the 0.9 bar switch, no lights flashing but oil pressure drops to about 0.5...

Re: Over fuelling on starting

Hi, thanks for that bit of info, it obviously hasn't happened on T25 that much if at all, think the fault happened after i had replaced all the earth eyelets with new solder ones, but i had left one of the bolts loose, so think when i tried to start it, i spiked it .... :cry:
