when i start up my engine it takes about 5 to 8 seconds for oild pressure to get up after this oil pressure is fine, it kind of looks like the oil is draing back. o ring is in place as stuck it there with sealant. any thing you boys think i should check "Can I legally marry people now that I am ordained in the Church of the SubGenius?" aka i know jack sh"t

i have a oil pressure light but that is a 20 psi one so i might try a normal one but keep the ideas coming "Can I legally marry people now that I am ordained in the Church of the SubGenius?" aka i know jack sh"t

do you have an oil cooler attached? are the pipes upside down or mounted at an angle, that can drain back into the sump. 133.5 bhp 123 lb torque 116mph @6640rpm 9.5psi

Hi, I think Milamber had this problem on his metro. When he stripped it down he found a crack in the oil pump body... Cheers, Gavin :) Edited by Jason G on 25th Aug, 2008. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

i had a very slight leak at the union on my guage, air would leak out until the oil 'sealed' it

think for the safe side i am going to look at the pump and gasket, so used to taking this thing appert it does not bother me any more, i had a feeling it was the pump and my hunches usually work out to be right, i have checked unions by the way before any one has a go at me for making this decision, all input was good input will let you now what it is "Can I legally marry people now that I am ordained in the Church of the SubGenius?" aka i know jack sh"t

pump only done 2800 miles. was it from mini spares?, i have had a mini spares oil pump before and it never lasted 5 minutes 
however i would like to say i have spent maybe £2000 with mini spares over the last 4 years and the pump is the only crap thing i have had from them Edited by Brett on 30th Aug, 2008. Yes i moved to the darkside |

the old power flow pump was from avonbar and the new one from mini spares, they are the same pump other then the back plate which i had a look at. the problem with the old one is that where the rotor sits in the back plate, it lloks like there has been no lubrication so has almost welded the back plate and the rotor together even though i primed the pump lots of times before fitting an starting so who nows what went on but all working sweet now, see how long this lasts if they have a bad rep "Can I legally marry people now that I am ordained in the Church of the SubGenius?" aka i know jack sh"t

I thought all powerflow pumps from Avonbar & Minispares are the same. As Benross said, a dodgy pump. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:
