I'm not certain but it appears to be stuck in the fully seated position so it may or may not have something to do with the low oil pressure. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">Best--Michael Oritt</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 1, 2017 at 10:02 PM, richard mayor <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:boyracer466@gmail.com" target="_blank">boyracer466@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">When metal starts moving though the oiling system, as happens fairly often in race motors, a shard can find itself stuck along side the bullet in the pressure relief valve pocket. I have always used a tap to engage the bullet to pull it out. If a magnet wont pull it out, you probably have some metal wedged in there and the only way to get it out is with a tap. And, that would explain your low oil pressure problem because the bullet is stuck in the open position. <br><br><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On Fri, Sep 29, 2017 at 11:51 AM, Michael Oritt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:michael.oritt@gmail.com" target="_blank">michael.oritt@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(51,51,255)"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Further to my post of a few days ago about low oil pressure I pulled the bottom end apart and will be replacing rod and main bearings.
