jeep 4L oil pressure
171,000 mi. on 96 4L. Oil pressure drop too 0 after 4 or 5 mi. of running
at 60mph then stopping. I just replaced the oil pump and still have the same problem, only worse now. It is an aftermarket pump, could I have just installed a bad pump? |
Re: jeep 4L oil pressure
Oil pressure depends on pump quality and bearing clearance both. If you put
a new pump on an engine with bad bearings, then you didn't help yourself much. Did you check the accuracy of the oil gauge before installing the new pump? Isolated oil pump failures are rare, because the pump is the best lubricated part of the engine. They do happen, of course, but they are rare.

Re: jeep 4L oil pressure
Thank you Earle. I was thinking that was the problem but, I was in denial
and hopping for another answer. |

Re: jeep 4L oil pressure
Verify the oil pressure with a Real gauge, like all Hot Rodders use
aftermarket sets by Stewart Warner: http://www.stewartwarner.com/ or Auto Meter: http://www.autometer.com/ God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ ansky wrote: > > 171,000 mi. on 96 4L.
