RE: Oil Pressure Fluctuations

["Bob Palmer" <rpalmer@ucsd.edu>]

Doug,

This is a real brain teaser. I have never heard of these symptoms. Since oil
is incompressible is even harder to account for the fluctuations. Could the
pressure line be lying against the exhaust manifold and the oil boiling
intermittently? Could there really be these pressure fluctuations inside the
engine? I can't think of a plausible scenario inside the engine that would
produce the symptoms you describe. Let us know what you find after checking
the tubing and gauge.

Good luck,

Bob
