Subject: Re: Saab 9000 low oil pressure - what next?


you should prime pump by packing it with Vaseline before reassembly. Delivery pressure is determined by oil pump measurements. These measurements are in the Bentley manual and are not detailed by Townsend's doc (attached). At this point, you have 2 options. 1: crank 'till oil pressure is visible by the light extinguishing or 2: disassemble and reassemble with a little petroleum jelly in the pump voids. http://216.78.172.244/engine_folder/front_crank_seal900.htm KeithG "danny" <dannynopsamia-esprezzo.com> wrote in message news:3D04FCC3.39E23B12nopsamia-esprezzo.com... > Reference my previous post where I told about the oil pressure light > coming on, I've researched the problem further and am now stuck: > > Removed oil pump - seemed OK - some very light scoring > Removed oil pressure relief valve - same as above. > Changed oil filter. > Blew down oil pickup and could hear oil bubbling in sump - so strainer > ok? > turned engine over with pump cover off, pump rotates OK. > > Reassembled with new filter and then turned engine over with DI cassette > unplugged.
