[Bricklin] Oil Pressure

[D Walker]

I'm not sure. But maybe a weak oil pressure bypass valve spring? Or the end play on the crank to excessive? Bad or weak oil pressure sender? If you could hook up a mechanical oil pressure gauge and get a hot oil idle pressure reading that would let you know how low it actually is.

My oil pressure is fine when I start the car and drive for a little while it
will idle fine in gear, with the brake and ac on.  Even after the choke turns
off it is fine  After the car gets up to temp (around 180) when I stop the
idle has decreased and the oil pressure light starts to blink or stay on.  The
car still runs, but I would like to know if anyone knows the cause of this so
I can address it.
