So in preparation for cold weather I slapped on the heat houser and gave the old gal a once over. Little low of oil and the dist cap was a little green, but took care of it. Went to start it the next morning to feed, NO oil pressure! Was just about to shut it off and it starts rising slowly, and stops at 40 psi, which is normal. It hasn't been ran much so thought maybe the pump lost prime. Next morning same story, except came up a little faster.
So the question is, is the cold causing it? It was 18 the one morning and 27 the next. If so would a block heater help? Or, is it the oil viscosity? I use straight 30wt winter and summer.
I'm not too worried, as I know this engine is in good shape. Excellent compression and starts before you can get off the key. I'm just looking for a little insight on this.
Thanks, Mac
