Phantom of the Opera
I have what seems to be a fresh engine in a motor home I been fixing on for almost 2 years....
so I took it on the road yesterday, and one of the things I noted is the bad news on oil pressure, or at least I think it's bad news....it goes to 40 psi when 'cold' but after a blast in 90f ambient heat and traffice back home, the oil pressure was down to 20 psi at idle...30 at 2k rpm....
problem, or ignore it?? put in some STP and foregetaboutit??
maybe that oil filter bypass thing the filter screws into??
engine smooth and quiet as a mouse otherwise....and it's clean in and out....
:bonkers:
