Top Man Terzo Neil!

[pmacFTO]

Had to say a very public ta very much to Neil for coming through and testing my Oil Pressure! It turns out my gauge IS working and so looks like I need a new Oil pump. Was sitting at 90-100psi after it was warmed up so Pressure Relief Valve must be gone!

At least I know now...next thing is to find a replacement...any info appreciated - will be calling the usual suspects tomorrow!

Thanks again Neil - I learned some interesting phrases today too!

90 psi at 85'c oil temp at 800 rpm on calibrated mechanical gauge

revved to approx 3000 rpm and moved to 95 psi, no higher

gauge goes to 200 psi

Sorry to be boring and interrupt the banter I suppose it's best to get one of the standard oil pumps which have the PRV modded to stop it sticking again? The car is only 300bhp and lightly modded so I don't think I need an uprated pump yet

[the squiggle]

Yes the RCMS pump will make an ideal replacement

Anyone wanna fit my DEFIs

Top Man?

From what I have seen it is more like the local charity shop!
