Subject:      Hello - Idiot oil light keeps coming on!
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes

My new project is giving me lots of unexpected treasures to figure
out, but, maybe I am an idiot and attrtacting lights.


The oil light was flashing on and off and didn't go off until I revs
reached 4K yesterday.


Today, after MOTOR FLUSH was introduced, all oil was drained from the
sump.  Almost a litre of LUCAS was added then filled with 20/50
Pennzoil.


Started up and the idiot light was flickering off just about 3/k revs.


My instincts tell me to replace the oil pressure sensor switch but
locals tell me it is a bear to change.  Anyone out there who have had
a similar challenge and what did you do?


The engine pulls well and doesn't show any oil/water being emitted
from exhaust.


Suggestions please.
