Did you recently change the oil?

 

[xjtrailrider]

Check the oil sending unit

 

[jeepgeek2002]

its in need of an oil change and i got some Restore i need to throw in there.
Yeah the sending unit is leaking.
So .. it could be cheap fix. or it might just suck lol

When the oil pressure is at 0, is the top end rattling or is it running fine? Sending unit probably suspect it is sounds fine. Top end rattling would indicate lack of oil.

 

[jeepgeek2002]

top end rattles at start up..

it runs strong though..

no. I'd find a mechanical gauge and check the actual pressure. I'm betting the sending unit has decided to mess with you. you know how women can be... you dont give them enough attention and they throw a hissy... :wave:

 

[jeepgeek2002]

LOLOL
yeah she was mad i took Rubi last week.. this week she decided to throw a tantrum and bust my speedometer and my oil sending unit... both of which are more then $50

my oil pressure sending unit acted up on my 00 one time, after doing a headgasket repair and head crack (0331 head)... we ended up bumping into the sending unit, and it started acting funny... i'd try that first before looking at engines; but if you do need one, i think brent's is available from the LS2 swap; could be wrong though...

 

[jeepgeek2002]

Brent sold his engine like 2 weeks ago..

[jeepgeek2002]

OOOooooooh i found out what the problem is..
NO OIL!
DOH!

its got a new oil sending unit gauge... and now it needs an oil change bad..

Mark

 

[Team Willys]

It had oil... it was just low! LOL. Oh well, we got you fixed up!

 

[Ghost]

LOL! I hate it when that happens! :helpme:

 

[kastein]

Oops :shocked:

I've discovered I was 4.5 quarts low (yeah, 1.5 quarts left) twice since January. I don't change my oil anymore, I just keep it filled up and swap the filter once in a while...

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

lmbo, guess you need to start checking it more often atleast it was a simple fix before low oil caused well uhmm an engine swap

 

[jeepgeek2002]

Avon was running bad.. now i know why.. silly me
Engine Restore will be nurshing her back to life

[xjtrailrider]

Are you leaking oil or burning it? If its leaking then fix it before the government makes BP clean that spill up too!

If its burning it then you need some rings and re-hone of the cylinders.

 

[jeepgeek2002]

198k ... salvage title.. changing oil every now and then.. ran the radiator nearly empty for 5 months..
im just waiting for Avon to blow up.. lol
