i have a small crack in the line that comes off the valve cover to the oil pump doesn't leak oil but could it be causing drops in dramatic oil pressure
oil pressure question
- Thread starter kayledao
- Start date
a little more info
i don't want to have the problem that my turbo car had
the guy i bought the car from replaced his oiline and it kinked caused major oil starvation and bhg and now that motor won't even start it's waiting on a rebuld at the moment
i would like to avoid this problem looking for solutions

nope the external lin that goes from the side of the vavle cover to the tube that comes out of the driver side of the block
yeah thats the one the one on my turbo motor was junk and the one on my na-t has a small crack where it connects to the valve cover and it doesn't leak oil but i ws wondering if it could leak pressure and cause drastic drop in oil pressure like one the stock guage 45-55 during normal driving and like 15 duiring idle
i thought that the oil pump put oil thru this line i guess i was wrong not the first time but what then would cause the loss of pressure at idle
i have taken it to a local performance shop they are the ones that put the factory turbo in my na and got it running but we haven't figured out the oil pressure drop condurum is this normal with the na-t conversion
I'm still reeling from reading the "stalling after sfac" thread so forgive me if seem confused. What oil pressure conundrum? 15 at idle and 45-55 at cruise? That's a conundrum?
I'm puzzled by your hose question too. Putting confusion about what it does aside if you see an obviously defective part wouldn't you just go ahead and change it?

i am going to replace the line once i find a factory replacement or ss line
don't want to have the problem that the guy i bought the tubro car from oil stravation and major bhg that;s all

Read the thread 
.
I dunno about his blood pressure but his oil pressure is fine. A bit high for my taste but within spec. What he really needs is to learn something about the car before he goes anywhere near it with tools.

What loss of pressure at idle? You said you are getting 15, which is high if anything. It's been a while but I remember getting around 5 at idle with my 89. I'm pretty sure anything above 4 is within spec.
I do appreciate the lol that this thread brought though.
