Oil pressure gauge question

[SailorBob]

I have a 1700. I am not sure how that compares to a 1110

Cold: 50-55
Cold under load: I don't do ...wait for it to warm up
Hot idle: 40
Hot Under Load: 50

Are your oil lights going off at 3-5psi?

 

[SailorBob]

I don't use the light anymore. The seding unit is for a gauge only. I have heard of some that put some kind of Tee that allowed them to use both.

Had my sender go out, or should I say come on last summer. Worked fine when it was cold but when working hard during mid day it came on. Found a little bit of oil behind the electrical connector. I have not cut one in half, but I would guess the sender uses a diaphragm switch that gets loose and lets oil pass to give the false signal. Felt really good after installing the gauge and seeing it read 36 to 47 psi on the 1500D. Never see it go past low 50's on start up.

My dad always said that as long as you have 10lbs for every 1000rpm you're in good shape.

Does anybody know about the ability to raise the oil pressure as mentioned above? I suspect he's referring to the check valve. Anybody know if my 2T72 engine has one and were it's located?

Do you have any problems finding parts for your 3110d I just bought one. Leaks oil around pan and from the front axle (gear oil I guess) comes from right behind wheel.
