Oil pressure

[xvivalve]

Must be easier with a ramp, couldn't get the ends of the split pin straightened today as unable to get decent access through the subframe and around the rack whilst lying on my back. I'll go beg a favour with a commercial place with a ramp in the week...

[Jod Clark]

Or bring it to mine, and I'll do it from down t'pit

I did it lying on the floor ok.

[xvivalve]

Roy, did you take the pump off or did you get the split pin out in situ?

[triple tango]

I didnt disturb pump, split pin removed in situ ok.

Think it'll need doing sooner rather than later - started her up today whilst she is sitting at my place awaiting propshaft repair and she blew the rubber seal out from the oil filter. Only three hours tidying up to do then . Sprinty pump sure do shift some oil, even at tickover.

Hope you didn't run my bearings whilst using my very expensive engine as a musical instrument!

Are you using a spin on?

[xvivalve]

Yes, may revert to standard as at least then the seal is trapped!

[newguy]

Guessing your having the same problem as me, you have the Wrong filter fitted.

[xvivalve]

Really?

So what is the correct filter for the spin on conversion? I simply replaced like for like with what was on when I bought the car...
