my vr v6 auto has had a rough idle and noisy lifters (i think) for quiet a while, ive had some worked heads put on (originally to replace the valve stem seals) and i didnt replace the lifters, i notice when the car runs rough and about stalls the oil light comes on for about 1 sec then goes away and car is fine. so i decided to buy a electrical oil pressure gauge, hooked it all up, the pressure im getting is
around 7psi at idle
under acceleration it goes to about 40psi
my oil pan is bent pretty badly, so im goin to replace that, but is there anythign else that could cause a low oil pressure??
thanks for any help
