is this an inline 4 or a WBX oil pressure switch in the head is typically in
line 4 talk
you need to get a snap on or some other screw in type oil pressure tester
that reads in 5 pds increments or better
both the inline 4 and the flat 4 should be well warmed up to get a realistic
idea of pressure at idle
the inline4 is best tested at the head and WBX between the push rod tubes

Subject: Oil pressure checking


I would like to check the oil pressure.  Do I have to get an oil pressure
gauge or can I use the one that I use for the fuel pressure?
Is it enough to check oil pressure at the head where the low pressure switch
is located or do I have to check at the high pressure switch place?
Who knows?
