Hi.
Seeing as the oil is essentialy the heart of the engine I'm slightly worried about my Valver. The engine is a 65k lump fitted by "5 Alive"
Anyway, the oil temp gauge doesn't work, but the oil pressure does.
At about 3k rpm, the oil pressure as around the 3bar mark and it sits at about 1Bar on idle but slolwy drops after a few minutes but a blip on the throttle will see it rise up again..
I only really use the car for short journeys (10-15 minutes) and the oil is starting to look a bit scummy (going black and smells of petrol a bit)
I don't know if this is nomral though. 'On song' the pressure seems fine and goes way above 3bar.
Also how hard is it to fix the Oil temp gauge? As I'd really like this too work.
I also have some 10-40w Comma lite to go in, but can't get the oil filter off. Can get my hands around it but it won't turn (don't have much room for movement though). Isn't there a good tool I can buy as I dont want to jam a screw driver through ti.
So, can you peeps shed some light on my problems please?
Cheers
