intrigue90 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 i think my oil pressure is low and oil is not getting to the top end of the engine. Can anyone give me advice on what the most effective way of increasing oil pressure, i am going to drop the sump and clean my oil pick up pipe when i get time but Im not a mechanic so if there is some things i could try without stripping my engine down or getting too technical it would be helpful.

electricracer Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 low oil pressure is either pump (worn or more likely blocked pick up) or the bearings are shot, if it is low and not making a knocking noise yet it soon will be if you dont sort it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intrigue90 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 also is it worth changing anything else while im at it? sorry this may sound stupid as im not a mechanic how big a job is changing the bearings? it doesnt knock but the top end is a bit noisy like its starved up there you know?
