Hi Tino, Good diagnosis on this oil pressure problem. Tried to watch the "jaghealey" but it kept breaking up. I did make out your blaming me for some sort of insanity!! Tomorrow I am picking up a 1969 MGB so I will be stopping by. Matt
Matt, good to see you still around! Retired now but busier than ever and I still have 4 damn British vehicles in my personal yard and one in my garage to restore. Let's catch up one day soon!
What filter do you use? And how big is the opening? I’m having trouble with a midget. Oil pressure goes down to almost 0. I cannot find a filter that fits!!! I need 5/8 opening.
You are talking about a 1.5 midget with the special insert? Napa used to sell those filters with the insert and I misplaced all my numbers when I closed the business in 2017 that I had for those oil filters with both size inserts. Sorry If i'm not much help.
Try Moss motors to get the correct filter, then can buy more locally. I usually buy 5 filters for longterm convience. One less thing to worry about , when time for oil
this is great to see. There needs to be a web site or something to post these things. May help many owners ward off future issues. Do you have a phone number or e-mail adress?
Al, I closed the business after 51 year of service and still maintain these British vehicles locally in retirement. I belong to several Facebook British auto groups that are very helpful worldwide. Phone and email address was compromised recently and trying to still clear my name and accounts. Sorry!
Thank you. i did the same thing without knowing. I got pressure, but it was not what it was like before the oil change.

What oil filter did you use again? Hard to see the numbers on the side
Napa proselect oil Filter #21068
good thing the owner didnt try to drive it very far
He was on a major highway and couldn't get up to 65mph so after 10 minutes he turned around

No need to Barbara
So the engine getting no oil….cooked bearing,
Total rebuild with crank turned was the only valid repair paid for by Pennsoil inc.
