Hi all,
Finally started the motor, really concerned, oil pressure shows 18-23 lbs.
Motor is 1725 fully rebuilt by a professional who asembled the basic
engine/head. I fitted the ancilleries including a brand new oil pump. I have
changed the oil gauge to a new one, still low reading. I have removed the oil
pressure valve below the filter, seems ok. I have noted on the list that Rootes
had a tech fix to replace the valve with one from a 1600 and there is also a
tech article for converting the valve to a adjustable one.
Help please, am quite worried that an expensive rebuid could be damaged.
Thanks,
Steve Graham
