Porsche Crest oil light

I just shipped my '71 911 T from LA to my house in France. I've been a 912 enthusist but secretly have always wanted the power of the 911 so I purchased this '71, which has been completely rebuilt from the ground up with 10K on the engine.

It had a fresh tune prior to being put in the container in early June. Due to vacations and the French not working in August, the car just arrived yesterday. It fired right up but the oil light came on. There's oil pressure and everything seems fine.

Any thoughts?

Welcome to the forum !

Happy to see yet another European here.

I am afraid I´m a mechanical newbie so I wouldn´t be able to pinpoint the answer. If you have good oil pressure I would keep the engine running till it gets up to normal operating temperature then check oil level with the stick just to see there actually is a good amount in there. I wouldn´t be surprised if the oil lamp been turned of by then.

Try the search button (while waiting for more competent answers) there is plenty info.

Cheers,
