no oil pressure in recent overhaul
H everyone was putting the final touches on my overhaul. got to the initial startup section of the manual. there was no oil pressure reading on my gauge when cranking . i took apart the oil regulating valve and turned it all the way into the block still nothing. tried turning the engine over with the oil pressure gauge removed and i probably got a tablespoon of oil after 5 seconds of cranking. Is this a normal amount of oil or is my gauge bad?

I can only say that I have hand cranked an A-4 with the oil pressure line removed and had lots of oil come out the fitting. I think cranking with the starter should produce even more.
IIRC there are a few, three I think, internal plugs that have to be installed for the oil to build pressure. Do not have my manual with me so someone else can give you the name and location. Dan S/V Marian Claire |
