but wait! why is the oil pressure sensor on top of the hpop reservoir. That is a closed loop system that feeds the injectors it can't be reading lube oil pressure!


Sorry I couldn't resist!

My comment was tongue and cheek. it is a great spot to read lube oil pressure because there is flow and pressure there. My comment was to harass Bill Hewitt on his upper end oil change crap!
