Reply To: Oil pressure

Hi Guys

Thank you for the responses. The engine on my car was stripped and cleaned shortly before I bought the car this year. The first thing I did was change the oil using 20/50 multigrade, I reckoned this would be safe as the engine had been cleaned recently, I also replaced the non operable oil sender unit and the oil pressure gauge. Most cars run with oil pressures over 50psi hot but I know little about pre war designs, perhaps having  an oil pressure gauge is a bad idea. I can raise the tick over a touch and extinguish the oil pressure light.

Cheers  Richard
