<p>The oil pressure and water temp gauges are both Bourdon tubes.
If I was prepared to send the safety gauge to a specialist
anyway--about $200-300--for overhaul I might try squirting
electronics cleaner GENTLY--i.e. just a dribble--into the fittings
and gently drying them with air (like from the keyboard spray
cleaners). If oil is inside the gauge housing you're probably
better off sending it in.</p>
<p>Actually, I doubt if oil in the oil pressure gauge Bourdon tube
is a problem, as some will likely get in there anyway.<br>

years ago after I got my BJ8 back from a shop, who restored
the car, while driving down the road oil squired out on to
my pants from a loose fitting on the oil line. Going back
to the shop they just tighten the nut. I have good oil
pressure, but, all ways have oil residue in the gauge.
Ideas on how to clean the gauge before installing the engine
trans etc. in the fall?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
