After changing my oil a week ago, today my oil pressure gauge is reading a little below the normal, but then suddenly moves up past the normal then down again, is this a sign of my oil pump going out? Had engine rebuilt about 2 years ago. Should i be worried about this or is this normal. Really cant afford another rebuild! Any help anyone??
 
Have you done the oil pressure gauge mod, or is it still factory?

If factory, there may be a problem with the gauge - or with the wiring, or the sending unit. But it's basically an analog idiot light from the factory.

Here's an article on it over at TCCoA: http://forums.tccoa.com/showthread.php?t=75977 (Well, a thread, anyway.)

I found out why i was having low oil pressure. I was using a K&N oil filter and a friend told me that because they filter so good, they can sometimes restrict oil pressure. I took his advice and changed the oil filter and went with a Wix filter, there it was! Problem solved, Excellent oil pressure now! :)
