Now I know Im in trouble.
went out to turn the car arround on the drive, when I started it it fired in an instant, but knocked heavily for about 1.5 to 2 seconds then sounds good.
I took out the oil pressure switch and managed to add in a gauge which goes up to 2 bars,fired up the engine and the gauge went round past 2 bars to hit the stop, hard to estimate but probably 3 bar +.
Now I'm puzzled, if the pressure was low then it would knock but with over pressure why would it do that.
The oil pump has a relief valve so why do I see so much pressure, it shoiuld open and dump the excess
Could the oil way be blocked from the filter to the head, ......but that would push more oil to the crank.
Dam this bloody thing
