Been having a low oil pressure issue when the engine is warm, and oil leaks.
Took the engine out yesterday using the new lift I modified. Stripped the engine down today and found that the oil cooler is loose. That would explain the oil leak.
I am guessing that it could also be causing the low oil pressure when warm as the oil cooler is bypassed until the engine reaches a certain temperature.
Anyone confirm that for me.
However, I am still going to split the engine as it looks like there are some small metal particles in the oil.
