oil pressure

(1/4) > >>

gary123:
Started my latest project and oil light wouldn't go out, so got a new one (thanks Julie). Still don't go out.
There is no continuity between terminal and earth so Im ruling out a short and Ive used a test light with pos to battery and neg to terminal, that doesn't go out either.
What to try next? Drop oil and check gauze pick up ? Could the filter be an issue ?

Please dont make me take the engine out  :(

If you think it's flow on first establishing the pressure after rebuild, then take filter off completely, turn it over until you see the oil coming out of that supply to filter housing, then refit filter and try it for pressure then.

Cheers Ill give it a go.

K2-K6:
To add.... with a freshly built engine it can air lock the system out from pump head and just stop the pump from getting supply through initially, opening the system stops that happening.

Its got to go through there firstly, so you might as well check it there. Once the pump head and ongoing delivery pipe to filter has oil fully in there it'll pump effectively.

Nurse Julie:
Have you got any tell tale signs of oil at the top end Gary or is the oil not getting that far (regardless of if the light goes out or not?)
