Once those 3 things are eliminated, re-- check all.Then, depending on how many times you want to drop the pan its once for each, pan gaskets leak-- twice to 3 times, rod plasti guage once, mains once,So you could have bad mains, rod bearings,guage, and even if the temp guage mal functions, the compressions figures being measured while cold are still impressive but only muddy the waters.I'm guessing the gauge has some green on the display and is NEW!

I don't get what you are asking about where the gauge is from but it is from orellys, I plan on dropping the pan and checking the screen, relief valve and doing some plastigauging whenever I get around to it and get the stuff together. Tony in Mass, Are you saying to just leave it alone and run it as is? I considered it but I am kinda spooky about it. This post was edited by aarolar at 17:27:07 03/17/13. [Reply]  [No Email]

I just had another thought, could the oil filter cause a oil pressure drop? I ordered a spin on oil filter kit and it came with a fram filter that I couldn't get to quit leaking so I ran to town and got a Napa Gold. I noticed the fram had about eight or ten 5/16 holes in it for the return and the Napa Gold only had two 1/4 or smaller holes. I didn't run the fram long but I swear I had over 25 closer to 30lbs of oil pressure cold but with the Napa it won't go over 25 cold am I crazy or could this filter be that restricted?
