ive a bit of a problem with low oil pressure in my essex v4 (fresh built) its got about 400miles on it now and i was getting the oil light coming on once things were upto temp after a run of 20mls or so.. not always and only on tickover.. i replaced the light switch and thought id fixed it, but the problem has returned, so i put a smiths gauge on instead of the switch to see what its reading 40lbs running and about 20lbs tickover cold! the book says normal is 50lbs for a V4. not done a run test yet but im guessing the pressures will come down once hot... could it be the oil im using.. before i start pulling things apart.. ive got "comma classic 40" oil in it Classic Motor Oil 40 | eBay
