Re: low oil pressure switch
Well the job is done , but of course the lower samco hose (water pump )
stock hose clamp did not seat the first time. so took it apart 2nd time and
got the stock house clamp to seat correctly , no more drips.
While i had the oil filter housing out i installed a 3/4 in long pipe with a 90
deg. fitting. now the switch is out in the open and easy to get too. And of
course it lasted for 120xxx miles before failing. so now i'll never? have to
rpl it again.
While i was in there i replaced the coolant with 50/50 mix of NAPA and
distilled water plus one bottle of water wetter. Removing the left coolant
hose and filling it until it ran out of the left cooler housing. Started the car
i had coolant flowing into the tank and added more until it was full. I used
a temp gun while running motor , checked both coolant housings and read
temp of 175 deg temp. on both sides. Went for Test drive everything
checked out ok.
Thanks for your help
