right, after spending a week converting my new 4 dr saloon, i finally started and ran it. just one problem, as soon as the engine gets upto temp the oil pressure light flickers at idle then comes on constantly. as soon as i rev it it goes out. oil is getting to the cam etc. im using magnatec oil and a gm filter, the bypass valve in the pump has been cleaned out, inc the sump and pick up pipe and everything checked. vauxhall sugessted putting 20w50 in it! is there another option? oh the engines a c20ne from a j plate calibra. any help as this is the only thing i need to do to finish it!:thumb:

Usuall suspect is crap in the bypass valve but you've covered that. Is it worth a double check?

i dunno, it was well clean in there, all i did was undid it, and wiped it out, is there a procedure to it?
