<VV> Oil Pressure Drop

[Matt Nall]

I replaced the gears in the Oil Pump on my 1965 Corsa 140hp and at running 
speeds the pressure went up from 22 lbs to about 40 lbs. Problem is at Idle the 
pressure drops to 0 lbs. With the old gears at idle pressure dropped to about 5 
lbs. Help, why is the pressure dropping to 0 at idle?

Glad you made it!! gg


  Normally...


1  oil is too thin


2  oilpump is worn out


3  Engine bearings are worn / excessive clearance




BUT




Have you checked your gauge??  Try a different one.


 Electrical units are famous  for this
