From the Dr AE Haas Lesson 201: """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Cold engine showing very high pressures because of the thickened oil at startup: For a 40 wt oil at 75 F at startup: The oil is thicker, has more internal resistance and...

This is directly from Canton's website: """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Why Use An Oil Cooler Thermostat? An oil cooler thermostat helps your engine's oil come up to temperature quickly and holds it at the right temperature. Cold oil does not...

I was thinking of that also. I like the 180F engine thermostats. If the oil is hotter the engine will be a heat sink for the oil also. I haven't run an oil temperature gauge, so I'm wondering how hot everyone's oils may be running. I will measure mine to see when I start up. I will use my IR gun...

As we know, we need to flash water and solvents out of the oil. If glycol is mixed with the water it is a whole different dynamic. In the system with increased pressure things change. The ideal gas law equation is PV=nrT with n and r being constants in this case so PV~T and as pressure goes...

I stayed away from all cast parts. For ease of ordering and a package price I went all Canton. I saw you liked their stuff but didn't realize you went with a different thermostat. There's some different schools of thought on the thermostat temp. I'll post in a few minutes some more on that...

I went with all Canton parts because of previous thread posts from Ian. Canton's reason for going with 215 (their standard thermostat) instead of 160 or 180 is to flash any water off as quick as possible.

Thanks- there was some question about whether jetjock has ever posted anything about it but I couldn't find it. I could bend the needle. Or rotate it on the bezel 15 psi. Or re-label the gauge face. Or add an amplifier to the circuit. :icon_razz I haven't heard of many gauges failing so...

I did a separate post for the sensor calibration question. I went all Canton including a cooler and 215 degree thermostat. I will post the list of parts.

My dash oil pressure gauge is reading about 15 lbs low with an OEM Toyota oil pressure sensor that is less than a year old. I checked it with a mechanical gauge after a rebuild. I will check the gauge per the TRSM diagnostic spec. Other than replacing parts is there any calibration of the...

As for the instrument panel gauge I figr I kin move the needle up 15 pounds and it'll read accurit. Or I kin scratch off the stock numbers on the face and paste on some that will match what I read on the mechanical gauge.

Excellent- so I won't pull the pan. I have spent a lot of time going through all past posts on this subject and got the full scoop on ordering the filter relocation parts. I am thinking a large cooler may not be needed. I haven't seen any posts actually verifying the need for a bigger cooler...

Check the clevis/pin on the brake pedal arm where it connects to the clutch cylinder. I had one break a weld at the base of the clevis pin/cylinder rod and it did not always fully engage. Also check hoses to make sure you don't have any blown layers that may be swelling.

Plugged the oil cooler hoses and retested. Pressure went up. 10 psi@ 800 RPM 40 psi @ 3000 RPM Reconnected and the pressure went back down: 6 @ 900 RPM 30@ 3000 Oil cooler was not hot- Infrared thermometer read 107 degrees. Holding the gauge in hand and watching the pressure did...

Actually it could be a great buy for someone. Here's why ... and I give the info in case his happens to someones car and they want to keep it ... Side note/reference: I developed and taught a series of classes for Park University and taught them around the country in MOLD PREVENTION AND...

Check codes.

I will check the gauge per the TRSM later, but for now I know the oil pressure is not good enough per mechanical gauge readings. Cold: 30 psi@1100 RPM 40@ 2500 50 @ 3000 Warm: 8@900 35@2500 40@3000 Bled air from the mechanical oil...

So here's the apparent CULPRIT. I pulled the sensor and put it on an air line with regulator. I connected the gauge (wire) and grounded the sensor. Turning on the power (not starting up) and checking instrument panel oil pressure gauge readings showed that when there was 90 psi supply the gauge...

Are they magnetic? Can you pull the plugs and get a flexible vacuum line in there with a wet vac? Can you get on top of it and shine light in and look (just for kicks to see). If you don't take it apart leave the plugs out when you crank it. You want to do this anyway to build some oil...

Stock filter head.

I checked all the squirters (I thought they were crankshaft squirters but I think we are talking about the same ones). I made sure they were clear with a wire run through. They are tabbed and only reinstall one way. I blew air through the block and crank and cam oil passages also. I will try the...
