Oil gauge problem ?
After driving my A for over 30 years with no problems I broke down and installed an oil and temp. gauge. On a cold start up the oil gauge will read 5 psi and then as the engine warms up and driving the pressure drops off to 1 psi and it has me worried. Do I have a problem?
Here are some of the details:
1 Engine is a fresh rebuild with two thousand miles.
2 Same oil pump with the 30 years of service, Clean and looks to be okay
3 No problems with the old engine just wanted to freshen it up with rebuild
4 When I pull the plug from side of block I have oil running out of engine.
5 I do not have a plugged oil line to the gauge but very little oil comes out
with engine running and line not attached to gauge
Any advice from this great group would be appreciated. Thanks
