    oil pressure gauge

    I learned something today. Banjo fittings vary wildly in dimension for a given banjo bolt size. So there will be a version 2. Pieces prepped:

    oil pressure gauge

    Test fit on my parts engine. I think it'll work. The allen head machine screw holding the colant pipe bracket is the next battle. Several options. Make a new reducing bushing with less of the bolt head retained thereby reducing A. Swap the machine screw with a phillips pan head or similar with a...

    oil pressure gauge

    Getting closer to being able to install an oil pressure gauge. Couldn't find a 1/2" 20 UNF banjo bolt but I had a 12 mm x 1.25 banjo bolt and the local hardware store had 1/2" 20 UNF nuts and bolts.

    I know, fan speed question

    I'm almost embarassed to post this but I had an erratic blower issue (D1 so might not be relevant) and I doused the switch in contact cleaner. It's been golden since.

    Oil Pressure - D1

    Oil to the top end in 1 second has to be good enough without a preluber or something.

    Oil Pressure - D1

    Would you know what thread the oil pressure switch is? Thought it would be either 1/2" BSPP or M12 x 1.25 but it's neither.

    Oil Pressure - D1

    How are you measuring (determining sufficient) flow? Choking the flow completely will give you the highest pressure but the engine won't be happy.

    What's the cure for fast flashers from corroded sockets under aftermarket bumper?

    I used a Tridon EP26, LED compatible, flasher relay. Had to remove the case and file the edge of the pcb a bit to make it fit but it's been working great for 6 months now.

    Oil Pressure - D1

    If the temperature is not the same, gauge case pressure might skew your data if you're using a mechanical gauge.

    Oil Pressure - D1

    Before "Got a new large wix filter and pre filled with rotella 15w40. Cranked without fuses for fuel.and injection for 20 sec, no oil pressure. Then started and ran for 15 sec before oil pressure came up. 3 psi higher then with old filter.. 35 psi instead of 32." What changed to account for the...

    1995 Disco 5 speed manual learning curve

    I couldn't help but pull the change drawer and have a look. I have 1 1/2" guages on order and I think they might even fit in the change cassette side by side (the washers in the photo are exactly 1 1/2"). This might be the best solution yet.

    1995 Disco 5 speed manual learning curve

    This scenario comes up at every oil change (unless you remove the accumulator and pre charge it as you would for a fresh engine). Never caused me any grief.
