Let me start by saying that I have not checked the oil level yet. On my drive home I noticed that my oil pressure gauge was moving a lot. I also heard a bit of valve train noise at a couple of stop lights. I will be checking the level as soon as I the car cools a bit and the oil returns to the pan.
The motor is a 95 Cobra R 351W 11.2 CR, GT40 aluminum X and X 303 cam. 5 to 10 k on the motor the car is 89 fox. The specs are what the last owner told me as I bought the car this way 6 weeks ago. I did an oil change less that 2K ago with Mobil 1 10-40w.
Symptoms:
Oil pressure drops under acceleration then comes back up but still under normal. I have an autometer gauge and normally its 50-60 psi at cruise or accel.
I hoping the noise I heard was from the lifter. I assume “keyword” J since they are hydrolic they are starving for oil. I had an old Audi that used to tick when low on oil and had hyd. Lifter.
Any ideas?
