I replaced my crank dampener with an Innovators West piece. Actually not that bad of an install. I did not know I would need to pull the front seal and replace it. But since the part I got was the HD version with a thicker hub, it would not fit into the old seal. So after all that I finished lining up the PS pulley and bam, belt 100% aligned and tracks great with no issues.
So after the car gets started and pulled out of the garage, I let it idle in the driveway for a few minutes and look in to check the gauges to see the low oil warning on. It was fine when I started it up. I turn the car off, check connections, check oil and all is good.
Drive out of the cul-de-sac and the oil pressure goes down again. Shut off and restart and all was fine after start up.
Then I go for brief drive, car has no power, boost comes in just fine, low oil again. Coast home looking for a mach and a can of fuel to torch it...
Car is now in the garage.
Engine is built iron block 30k miles, KB 2.6, unknown what oil pump is on the car.
Thoughts...Change oil to see whats going on there, it's due anyways.
Get oil pressure gauge and check pressure instead of relying on the idiot gauge.
Maybe a bad sensor and it's going into limp mode?
The cars also acts exactly like it did on it's last pass at the track. No power...
