Oil Pressure Woes

["Doug Newton" <dnewton@nappco.com>]

Hi Group- A friend of mine who is not on the list asked me to throw out a
question for your responses:

 

He owns a '56 BN2 and his oil pressure is erratic...when idling and the
motor is cold the pressure is 40#, when he revs the motor

to 3000 RPM when the motor us still cold the pressure is 60#, and when the
motor warms up it pegs the gauge at 100#.

 

He has replaced the gauge and the same things happen.

 

Please forward your thoughts and suggestions-

 

Doug
