Is the oil pressure gauge a reliable indicator?
Is there any way to cause the instrument to read
higher than the true pressure?
Do the gauge and the oil press switch read the
same thing (pressure at the same place in the
engine)?
Reason for asking:
Panel lights on recently purchased TR6 behave
as though oil pressure switch had a threshold
of about 70psi - so either the switch is bad or
I've been snookered.
Think I'm being overly suspicious? The IGN and OIL
lamps had been interchanged, and the brake warning
lamp was out of its socket, so that elec system was
initially suspect.
