[QUOTE="CleoMar, post: 645813, member: 25534"] 1971 1600 engine uprated to 1776cc with external oil filter added plus bonus sump. I had the engine out to fix an issue with the cooling fan and replace the shift rod bushings. All accomplished successfully and engine, trans reinstalled. Upon start up the idiot oil light stays on and burns brightly no matter the revs. I replaced the Oil Pressure Switch and no change. I do not have access to a gadget to measure oil pressure. QUESTION: How do I satisfy myself the oil is circulating as it should. All worked properly before I removed the engine. Filled with Castrol 20/50 gtx oil and confirm it is at the full level mark. (approx 4 litres) Any suggestions for a simple check? What happens if I run the engine with the dipstick pulled? Thx C [/QUOTE]
