Faulty Oil Pressure Gauge

Jul/09/2018 Filed in: Phase IV
Oil Pressure
The oil pressure gauge was showing very low pressure 1 to 2 PSI at hot idle. After checking it with an external mechanical pressure gauge it was confirmed to be a bad gauge — a much easier fix than a bad oil pump or main crankshaft bearings!
