Since it's warmed up aroundd here, my Eldo's been losing oil presssure when fully hot. It goes right up to pop-off pressure of 60 psi when cold but slowly drops as the oil heats up to 37 psi at 80 mph on the freeway, when fully hot. That doesn't seem like a safe pressure to me. Any opinions on this, given that I need to ride it to the National in two weeks, through some ferly hot country? |
This is still a non-oil-filter lower end? I assume you would add the
spacer but keep the oil at the same level in relation to the pickup?
Is yours a gear or chain model? On the gear models, I have seen several
oil pumps with galled gears, and galled holes in the block where the
pump shaft runs.
