Thread: oil light stays on excessively long

rob, come grab mine. its sitting out at the shop........its been there for months. just give me yours when it comes in. mine is brand new......i just get bored and tinker with it lol, never been hooked up. come grab it, its yours.

What type is it? I ordered the 52 mm digital. If you have the same then I think i might do that this weekend.

digital? i have the 270* sweep electric gauge.......im pretty sure its amber colord if not we can simply trade the gauges once you get yours in the mail.



im sure the wireing is the same for both the digital read out, and analog read out gauges. you could snag mine and wire yours all up, then just swap out the gauge faces once yours comes in the mail.

This is the gauge I ordered, but anyways they emailed me back and it shipped out today, so thanks for the offer but I should have mine soon enough

I think this is going to be dead on.
Either I missed something, or the pan caved in when we had the motor on the floor, but I replaced it today after work. I could see where the very corner of the oil pickup was touching the lower pan, so I think my problem will be solved. I am letting the RTV cure overnight and starting it in the morning.
Good thing I caught it pretty soon before it killed my motor.


everyone with any oiling problems, before you do anything, pull off that lower pan and undent it. I don't care if it doesn't even look that dented to you, I could have lost my motor.
