1000 rpm's or less and the oil pressure drops to zero
I just put in a new oil press sending unit in and it helped but the needle still drops to zero under 1k rpm's. The motor doesn't make any noise or anything. Oil pressure always SLOWLY rises to 50psi and never higher. Then when the oil warms up it drops to 45-48psi.
Could it be that the oil pump or it's screen is bad or clogged?
