Re: Rebuilt engine low oil pressure
I ran the same filter in the previous engine and it had no oil pressure reduction.

Re: Rebuilt engine low oil pressure
Pentius "UltraFlow" PLB3569
I'm thinking it doesn't put up much resistance. Pretty large. Despite the fancy name, it's Made in China
My 1.6D filters get put on a little more than just hand tight, I use a filter wrench.

Re: Rebuilt engine low oil pressure
The new rubber seal in the vac pump gear looked much better, tighter, but didn't change anything significantly. I dropped the idle a bit and am surprised the oil pressure stayed the same. My dynamic numbers are about the same as the OP in this 5-post thread https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/1-6-diese...

Dang, just called busdepot and they DON'T have the 36mm oil pump. "Sorry..."

Re: Rebuilt engine low oil pressure
Reading up on removing cam caps, might be a bad move for ME to start playing with those things. Reading up on oil pressure vs oil flow also has me thinking I may be wrong about this being a real issue. Now most of this is just hear-say, as I didn't even remove the head: I bought this from a guy who ...

Re: Rebuilt engine low oil pressure
While waiting on the little vac pump seal, I been searching for a 36mm oil pump and those things are practically NLA. there's pretty much ONLY this https://www.partsplaceinc.com/vw-diesel-oil-pump-20712/reviews/ I did find something on ebay but the part number I can't cross-reference anywhere https:...

Re: Rebuilt engine low oil pressure
Central Florida on the East coast. Cars rust from the top down quick. I'm surprised that most people here still don't understand how rust works. My efforts to thwart rust without doing a full paint job has ended up with ospho, cosmoline or epoxy resin/putty. Doesn't look nice, but it holds the rust ...

Re: Rebuilt engine low oil pressure
This is for the scirocco. I wouldn't say it's a nice looking car. No a/c and a bit clunky but it's pleasant in other ways. No strange smells of decomposing plastics, everything is pretty much fossilized. The 86 golf isn't plated, just stored in the back waiting :roll: Thanks for the deal link, but t...

Re: Rebuilt engine low oil pressure
It's tough having to mess with older cars, but being able to legally use the older engines and gearboxes is gold is this crazy car-world we live in. And yea, shredder scrap is going for .10/lb here. Bad news for old cars, bad sign for the Dollar. That engine is said to be bored .30 over and have for...

Re: Rebuilt engine low oil pressure
Those are some great endeavors. Mk2 golfs have gotten rare now. Someone did a recent thread about that on vortex. IMO should have never stopped making mk2 golfs and mk4 wagons! (lol) With the idi and mtdi diesel power plants, those platforms became the last of best for people that want the "lux...

Re: Rebuilt engine low oil pressure
Not having any engine building experience, I didn't check anything involving plastigauge or micrometers . Just ASSumed that this longblock was done and went straight into the install (Doh!!!) . Reminds of the saying, "hurry up and fuckup". :lol: The 10-12 psi I get at hot idle is also with...

Re: Rebuilt engine low oil pressure
Well I crimped off the pcv hose coming from the crankcase and that has no effect on the oil pressure, lol. I have no tach so, using this site http://www.scirocco.org/gears/ it looks like I get about 10-12 psi per 1000 rpm when fully heated up (15w40). Took it for a short drive with both gauges hooke...

odd readings
When I had both oil gauges hooked up, seems strange they read the same (at the same time) Most people say that the pressure at the oil filter flange would be much higher than at the head. It looks like the oil pressure at idle still stays around 10 but the pressures at speed are not near as good as ...

Re: Rebuilt engine low oil pressure
No, the 12mm engine is in the car.
Removed the mount bolts and lowered it down
enough to get the IM shaft out.
I don't even have a stand (or a hoist).

Re: Rebuilt engine low oil pressure
This is good stuff. Still trying to wrap head around that, but to keep moving I did the IM shaft swap from the 11mm block. The one I took out didn't look as smooth on the inner surface. Measurements with the HF digital caliper comparing the 2 were kinda too close to call; anyway, swapped in the othe...
