[QUOTE="Ldv126, post: 634704, member: 26065"] Hi Mike, Oh yes, there is definitely an oi pressure gauge! We've only had this engine for about 7 or 8 years - it's a beauty that was built by Bears Motorsports in Leicestershire - and was fitted by our local aircooled specialist. It runs about 65 psi (4.48159 bar) when it's cold or on the motorway, and will drop to about 20 when warmed up and idling, so I don't think the pressures are silly. I think we've had the problems on and off for about 5 years - no rhyme or reason - did about 800 miles around the Lakes/North East a couple of years ago with no problems. But the failure at the end of this summer on the M5 and the comments from the Breakdown man make we want to get it sorted 'properly' - just need to work out what 'properly' means here! When I get the photos I'll get the writing on the hoses. Just waiting for the rain to stop... Luke. [/QUOTE]
