The V8 Owners Forum -

Gentlemen, Just a thought, front cover removed and replaced.
What about the wrong front cover gasket - I`ve been lead to believe that a 4.0 litre front cover gasket on say a 3.5 or 3.9 will open ( or is it close )a by-pass for the oil? Hence a drop in pressure.
Question - Has a 4.0 litre gasket been fitted or sold by mistake?

you learn something everyday!!

mike, yes this is what i was thinking, but i have good steady pressure at tick over , it climbs also with a bit of revs, and at tick over ive got oil to rockers, so i think iam ok.
