    I was saying it as more of a joke but either way having good compression doesn't mean you have good oil pressure

      I drove all day today with no problems with the oil pressure light turning on. I was working the car pretty hard when it did show but today after driving for about 4-5 hours nothing showed. Part is still on its way though so I'm going to replace it regardless. My steering isn't as tight now also and it doesn't handle the same I'm going to have to jack it up and try and diagnose

        Sounds like you a bent a tie rod or a control arm or a strut tube.

          I have similar, but mine is that idol only, any gas the light goes away. I have an S50 swapped. I think mine is the sensor. I am assuming this is what I need.

          I have a bit of ticking, I am starting to get a bit worried. BTW, what's it typically cost to rebuild an S50, or not worth it, swap in another?
