This is a simple test. Drop the pan, remove the oil pressure sender,connect pressure lube to fitting in block where you removed sender,force pressurized oil through fitting into block,and watch to see where the biggest stream of oil is coming from. If it is a really bad leak you won't even need a pressure lube. Before I had one I used air pressure and watched for the first spurt of oil before the air forced all the oil out of the system. A normal system will have drips coming from all bearings if the clearances are correct. Any area where a stream of oil is running out is a problem area. Set the oil pan under the engine to catch the drips. I made my own pressure lube system from a small spray tank.I removed the nozzle from the hand wand and threaded it right into the block,they were both 1/8 inch pipe threads. I then put about a gallon of engine oil in the tank and pressurized the tank. All you have to do then is squeze the hand valve on the wand and watch the oil drip down from the engine. It isn't any more work than spraying your lawn for dandylions. This is a fool proof method for locating the source of low oil pressure plus it lubricates the whole engine and you will have no dry start ups. Stop guessing where the problem is and do this test. This is like a CAT-Scan for engines Chuck

He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
