<div dir="auto">2 other possible checks:<div dir="auto">1- undo the pressure sender and put in a tee so you can truly put a guage and measure the actual pressure as well as seeing the point that the idiot light goes out. I have found a pressure sender that was not sending the measure to put out the light as high as 20 psi.</div><div dir="auto">2- see if the pressure reliefs are working correctly and not continually relieving oil back to the sump. There are multiple pressure plugs & springs, some with grooves & some that are solid and different lengths of springs. If you don't have the correct ones in the correct locations or ones that hang up, they will not let pressure go up to where it should be.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Bill</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 12:36 PM EL PUERCO <<a href="mailto:elpuerco66@gmail.com">elpuerco66@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">So, I made one last effort before pulling the engine and checked the oil cooler and seals.<br>

A new wrinkle or noise has developed which seems to sound like my uncle Rod-ney. It's not super loud so maybe the journal is OK?<br>
I did notice some "forbidden" glitter when I changed the oil 🙁<br>
