Post for longlivedthez,
Then just drive it, if itkeeps running then it is fine, if it seizes then you know it wasn't.
An oil pressure gauge is a simple preventative maintenance check. If you check it, and it works. Your engine will last a long, long time provided you understand what it is telling you. If your oil pressure gauge fails too operate or you refuse too check it, or you don't understand what it means. Then you you will be replacing your engine more than twice during the life of your car, just like longlivedthez. Geez longlivedthez, you already know about having to go through all of that aggravation from your own personal experiences with your own engines. Why keep telling others to ignore the pressure gauges, especially when a new sending unit cost $25 and takes about 15 minutes to put in. You claim to rebuild cars, but you flat out refuse to pay attention to your gauge, let alone fix it. Then rely on the idiot light which, is connected to the exact same sensor as your gauge that you know is malfunctioning! And you think your idiot light is going to save you still! Something is very wrong here with you longlivedthez. I would bet your z's don't live so long. Just don't. screw everyone elses cars up with your bad info. Better yet, since you obviously know nothing about these cars, don't post here. What's the matter, did you get laughed out of the other forums?
My fault folks, post was intended for longlivedthez. It is now corrected.
Thank You, Thank You, very much.
