Oil light on

[siffer]

Hope it's not oil pressure. It drives fine and idles fine. I unplugged the sensor at the filter housing and light goes away. Is that normal? Ima clean the sensor and hope for the best. Compression test I know I know but the damn thing is strong

does it goes away when you r3v or it is consistantly on

[siffer]

It was flickering but never solid bright. I cleans the sensor plug with non chlorinated brake Kleen and it's goid now.

Did you check the oil level?

[bwawuz02]

replace the sensor and try again... oil pressure isn't something you wanna play around with not having. And the M42 has been known to lose it for more than one reason.

Is your upper oil pan gasket still in place?

The upper oil pan bolts loosen up, moves the pan and gasket, and cuts off oil flow.

I wouldnt risk it.

Just out of curiosiry, but is your oil at level? Is your oil cap on tight?

I have the same problem almost, mine start off slowly then then after awhile turns pretty red then goes down a bit. I do have a slight oil leak. I really need to see where its coming from.
