1. Yes!!!

When I fired it up. The oil pressure went up to about 6 bar, and stayed high.

After checking for leaks and such, I took it for a spin. What a thrill!

The oil pressure stayed good, between 3-4 doing second and third gear on back roads.

I don't know what it was, the only thing I have messed with, was removing inspection and cleaning the two pistons.

All I can say is, if I do a rebuild in the future, these two items will be included in my to-do list. Way to much grief.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll report back if the situation changes, hope not.

Progress!!!

I am puzzled, though. 3-4 bar in 2nd and 3rd is still low, right? What is it at 5000 rpm in second?

I'm guessing that he is only using 3-4000 rpms at this point. New engine, very low miles, etc.

When oil is 80C with revs at 3000, oil pressure is about 4.2 bar - pretty good , I think.

Took it to work yesterday.

It is such a fun car, quick and nimble.

Thanks Bruce
