if you don't heard noise valve then maybe is the sender or gloged canal

if you heard valve noise before the oil pressure goes to 5 bars there will be a serious problem(opstruction in a canal,oil pump,broken oil pick up tube..

take a look again on the level of oil,maybe is too low?
did you change water/oil exchenge gaskets(relive valve centered)

matty,
If you have the "late" 1 piece OPRV there are 2 "O" rings on it.

The "inner" (deep in engine) "O" ring is at the bottom of the OPRV, and can be replaced easy.
The "outer" (closest to surface of engine) is hidden.

See post 6 to understand how to change the outer "O" ring. "O" ring number 5 in picture.

Spec for oil pressure relief valve?

GL
John

How cold is it? You are not running 20-50 in the arctic are you?

Have you looked at Clarks procedure on no oil pressure? IIRC it has something about priming the system. Have you checked the electrical connections to the sender?

so you have oil pressure when it heats up? I had this issue that developed over time. Everyday, the pressure would start lower from the previous. Turned out my to be my oil suction tube (or pickup tube as it is also called). It was developing cracks and as the car warmed up, the tube expanded, sealing these cracks, eliminating my problem.

The oil pressure relief valve (OPRV) and the pressure sender seem to be much more common issues though, and you should check those first. If it is your sender, you won't hear any valve noise. I think you can test this with a multimeter as well. If it is your OPRV, you can remove it and crank the engine over (remove the DME wire first so it doesn't start!) if oil sprays out the OPRV hole, you need to replace or rebuild the OPRV. If nothing comes out the OPRV hole, welcome to my world. Time to pull off the oil pan and check the suction tube. The process isn't hard really, you do need a tie rod separator beyond basic tools, but is just time consuming. Also, I ordered my new one through Porsche and it is a 7 business day wait. So plan on this too.

Good Luck, I hope it is a loose wire on the pressure sender!

sadly i have valve noise..... this started happening 2weeks ago ( i take the car out 1 a week and that week was a 2week waiter ) so i plan on checking the OPRV with those orings ! and my sender works well seems to work with its 5bar peg'd loll but all look in to the oprv soon like this week end ! i have to look on clarks where it is 1st and no i didnt change my AOS ? air oil seperator or Oil tube orings either !

where is this valve situated anyways ? im going to change my oil to 5w50 Syntec this week end if its not the valve we arent getting the heat we are supposed to in canada these days we are at 10-15 Celcius when i planed it would be 30-35.... maybe 10-w40 would do the trick !

matty89: OPRV is right under the oil filter. Easily accessible from the bottom, extremely easily accessible with the wheel off.

Matty,
You have the "3 piece" OPRV valve for the early cars. There are NO "O" rings to replace.

You may have a worn out/defective "3 piece OPRV" . Porsche designed a better updated 1 piece OPRV to replace a worn out early "3 piece OPRV"

The usual complaint was that the spring on the 3 piece OPRV did not hold tension any more.

The updated 1 piece OPRV replacement is VERY expensive to buy new. A late model 944 1 piece OPRV will not work. Search on eBay or WTB forum for a used if you decide to buy.

BUT before you do, did you do any work on the oil pump? Did you replace or check the oil pickup tube? In a recent post, the oil pickup tube on one members car had cracks that caused no oil pressure.

See post 30
Low oil Pressure, tried everything I could find info on!

John

no i didnt touch the oil pump yet........... and i only did the head job with the head gasket .. the oil pickup is in the oil pan right :S i didnt want to take that off because it was a good job..(long) would the crank bearing be a cause ? mightas well once u take the lower end off im guesing



but if no oil comes out of the OPRV does that mean i have a blocked circulation in the oil passages ? im lost atm...

matty,

Make an early alignment tool like the one I posted on link #29. NOTE the taper in the front (nose)---.
Low oil Pressure, tried everything I could find info on!

Use the alignment tool to see if the oil cooler housing is binding on your 3 Piece OPRV.

John

in looking at the thread title, while i've never had an issue with a cold strat sounding different from a warm one, but i was going to start regaling tales of the gibson studio standard sound when cold versus warm - that can be a real nightmare

matty,

Here is a picture on the early OPRV alignment tool procedure you should use to see if there is binding.



It could be a bad oil pressure sending unit on the oil cooler housing. Not cheap, but you could have a bad sender. The aftermarket oil pressure sending units can be bought for about $35 or so. Local parts shops may charge double so shop around. NOTE the posts are brittle and will snap off with too much pressure.

The oil pickup tube could be cracked. You may have to drop the oil pan and check.
Replace the rod bearings at the same time.

GL
John

oil press.

I have heard that when oil press. sender fails, it fails to Max on gauge.
You said head was rebuilt. There is a valve in the block that could have been left out. If the can tower gasket was put on wrong it blocks an oil passage.
