Pressure

[bidibronco]

I have a little problem with my oil pressure dropping to almost nothing when I've been doing hwy speeds and come to a stop. I know if you're running a bigger cam then it will drop the pressure a little after running higher RPM's but my cam isn't that much bigger. I don't remember the specs on it but it's just a slightly bigger lift and duration. Also, does anyone know where to get parts to run dual batteries under $170? @-)

this is a common problem with Broncos when the oil gets hot. If the gague reads normaly when the RPMs are up, it most likely isn't the sender unit, but could be from worn bearings or the oil pump. I am putting off pulling my engine just now for the same problem. The temporary solution was to go to a heaver oil. You could try going up one step.

Good luck,

i have seen no oil pressure drop in my engine with my cam that i installed. when cold or warm it allways stays in the middle of the normal gage.(i have tested the sensor and it does work normaly). what kind of oil are u useing?? i use castrol gtx 10-w40 when it's cold out and 15-w40 in the hot months. it's the only oil that i will use in it >-
