Reporting loss of pressure is way more important than leaking a bit!

I was going to wait until the new sensor said the same thing.

Research I did says these sending units are notorious for sucking. Mechanical gauge costs as much as the sender and threads right in. Might do that.

I wonder if I have a known good one hanging out the side of my block. If I didn't damage it on the way out of the truck I probably do.

Only problem I have with mechanical is that stock guage was reading 40+ 90% of the time, then would get weird after 2hrs of driving. Not sure how to replicate that other than when I head to Rausch in 3 weeks.

Thought: what regulates oil pressure in the engine?

Is it possible the oil filter has some bypass in it?

All oil filters have a bypass. Otherwise if they clog, you would have no oil pressure at all – and dirty oil is worlds better than no oil.

However, the filter bypass is not what regulates oil pressure. I'm going to have to stop talking here because I am uncertain of whether there actually is any true pressure regulation, or if it's just the tolerances in the engine that determine pressure.

my understanding is the bipass is not in the filter, its in the block


you can get shit stuck in this spring and plate.  i had a piece of a wire wheel stuck in a chevy motor bipass once when i went to install a spendy oil pump, i found that is the issue, not the pump.

I have confirmed via diagrams there is an oil pressure relief in the filter housing. Plan to inspect that tonight.

The intermittency (word?) is what concerns me. May seem fine for the next three weeks then 2hrs into my trip to Rausch the pressure drops.
