The motor only has around 8000 since rebuild in 2006. I have a red digital glowshift oil pressure gauge. Lately my oil pressure is ZERO on the gauge but does come up when I "kinda" get on it? As the motor heats up I notice the numbers get low even at 0 at a stop light?? Today I drove it to work and at 45-60 gauge showed under 12! Is there a high chance my oil pump is going bad or tis the sending unit possibly bad or going bad? They only cost $12.99 for a new part.
A few notes the car seems to run fine cruising and light boost but at higher boost I've been chasing a knock/light pinging for a few months now? Could/if the oil pump is going bad could I have found the reason knock has started to occur because lack of lubrication on critical parts? If the consensus is bad oil pump what should I get and where? Is there a direct replacement that might give me a hair more performance or is a stock pump ok? A side note is I do also have the RJC biggy adapter PLEASE HELP! My old GN I sold in 2010 never gave me any issues and I actually raced with it but I knew that car well this one my stepdad has had for years and now I'm trying to get it RIGHT!
