Odd Oil Pressure Symptom
I was at a track event today and when I started the Z to go out for my second session my Glowshift oil pressure gauge was not reading any pressure at all. I figured the gauge or sending unit had died when I realize the oil light was on at the dash too. I blipped the throttle and the pressure instantly began reading normal levels and the dash light went away. I went out for my session and everything seemed fine. After lunch, it happened again so I cut the day short. It’s doing it when the car has a chance to sit for a bit. If you blip the throttle it always reads normally and if you then turn it off and back on it’s fine. Gallery gasket job was performed last year and it has the upgraded Boundary oil pump gear. Any ideas?

You’re a brave man to go out for a session right after having oil pressure issues…

Put a oil pressure gauge on it and see what the pressure is.

It has an aftermarket one installed. It was not registering any pressure until the throttle was blipped. I cranked up again this morning and it seems fine. I dropped the oil and didn't see anything weird in it. I’m thinking maybe a blockage in the oil passages. I probably went overkill on the RVT when I changed the gallery gaskets.

Possibly oil pressure relief valve in pump stuck open. Happens on GM trucks sometimes, lifters will make noise etc start to rev engine a few times and all a sudden pressure is back and lifters fill etc. Sounds horrible and then new pump fixes it.

Your best bet is to install a manual gauge or wire up the glowshift manually so it can give you as quick of a reading as possible. Depending on your findings I would change the oil and filter and inspect the filter as previously stated. Continue to monitor this. |

Cold start I’m at mid 90’s PSI. I haven't been able to replicate the problem since the track event. I’m just going to keep running it as is. If something fails I’m OK putting a new engine in it.

bearing related issues. Either way, you have an issue going on. Last edited by Spooler; 05-27-2022 at 09:21 AM. |
