As the title says,

oil pressure is 65 ish when cold idle'ing, 30 ish when warm idle'ing, and 50 ish when warm cruising.

When i put my foot on the clutch the oil pressure drops right off to the point that the oil warning light comes on.

It's been suggested that the crank endfloat could be incorrect,

any suggestions?

Cheers

doesn't sound good either way dude *indifferent*

Yeh Probably is end float related. If you've got a heavy clutch they wear out the thrusts in time. If you sit at the lights with your clutch down that doasn't help either.
Check the end float!

i agree, i cant see any other reason for the oil pressure to drop when the clutch is in, unless its creating more bearing clearance somehow :-

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

Exams are finally over, so i've had time to pull the motor.

These are the thrustwashers


Crank endfloat was 2 thou

Need to replace the main bearing shells as the centre one shows quite some wear, also need a rubber ring for the belt drive kit as it had snapped and lodged up near the crank pulley
