Hello Tractor Mechanics extradinaires!
I have a question about oil pressure in an 8N motor I'm trying to finish up. I have a rebuilt engine that I am afraid to run because the oil pressure isn't coming up. If I take the pressure line to the pressure gauge off of the return line (to the oil filter), it will flow out gently.
But I'm wondering how does oil build up pressure if it comes from the pump and through all of its passages and then to the filter then govenor back into the oil pan? Isn't there supposed to be something to restrict the oil pressure to cause it to build up?[b:4b457df9ad][/b:4b457df9ad]
