It had been sitting for at least a year. There is no oil pressure after running for at least 10 minutes. I have changed the oil sensor and that didn't help. There was a lot of sludge when the dip stick was pulled. How do I clean it out, without tearing the whole engine apart. Any ideas on getting the oil pressure where it should be?? otbmonkeyboy User Jan 3, 2007, 12:57 PM Post #2 of 5 (1875 views) Re: oil pressure Sign In try using motor flush to loosen the sludge as well as it may clean all passages to allow the oil to circulate. use a motor flush that does not contain kerosene because it will strip the bearings. Marvels Mystery oil or seafoam may work. add the mystery oil or seafoam to your oil, run for 5 to 10 minutes, then drain oil, allowing 5 to 10 minutes for sludge to drain out. pour 1 quart any grade motor oil through to finish clean out. then continue normal oil change. this might fix your oil pressure problem without major work. even if it does not totally fix the problem, it should remove most of the oil sludge.

Sludge or not there will be a price to pay for that. Do you best, you might save it, T faboboo New User Jan 4, 2007, 8:24 AM Post #4 of 5 (1862 views) Re: oil pressure Sign In This had oil pressure when started, but after 10 minutes the oil pressure dropped, I shut the truck off. I have done 3 oil changes on it, also have taken the valve covers off, cleaned them, put new gaskets on and reinstalled them. I am going to try the Marvel mystery oil and see what that gets me. If not, besides tearing the engine apart, I don't know what else to try.

You may win as said -- I have before with a car I really wanted but it took some time, Good luck, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
