Hi All,
Hope all is well.
304 bottom stroked 355 with VN heads high rise manifold
I’ve noticed my oil sensor is leaking oil at the bottom of motor - this is connected to my oil pressure gauge on top of bonnet.
I attempted to tighten this and gave it a wipe / clean up. Ran the motor for a couple of minutes and it seems fine. (It’s raining now so not doing drive test atm).
The Pressure reading on the gauge after tightening it the oil pressure went up I noticed as well.
If someone can help me -
My questions are
Do I need to replace the threaded sensor that screws in? Or just tightening it up will do the trick? Monitor and if leaks again replace the sensor?
As I’ve noticed an increase in oil pressure - does that determine it was loose prior?
Thanks for taking your time to read - go easy on me I’m a newbie and learning as I go.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
