Title: Oil Pressure
Post by ministocker56 on 10/21/10 at 9:28pm

Just a thought , Was woundering why would you lose oil pressure even at 1 time down to 0 as the motor got about 150 160 deg's or actuly lower

if it a new engine make sure all oil gallery plugs are in
stuck by pass on oil pump

My first pinto had loose cam bearings. When it was cold the pressure was fine. As it warmed up the pressure dropped. Hot off the track the pressure at idle was 0 lbs. It took forever to find the problem.
