[Vwdiesel] Oil pressure problem

[mikitka]

Hello,

 

New to the list and have enjoyed all that I have read.  I have just rebuilt
a 91 Jetta TD with the 1.6.  It is bored .020 over and has new pistons,
rings, bearings, well you get the idea. The head was done and is good.  The
problem I'm having is when the engine gets up to operating temp I have zero
oil pressure.  At cold start up with 15w-40 Pennzoil Long Life I get 20 psi
at the head port but at temp it is zero even at 3K RPM.  This is causing my
oil light/buzzer to go off and it is driving me crazy.  I have put 1600
miles on the engine since I rebuilt it. Runs strong as can be. The head is
getting so much oil that it is getting sucked out of the valve are by the
breather.  The head has been checked, the head gasket is installed properly,
it is a new oil pump, all new bearings. Just no oil pressure at the head.
The oil port at the oil filter has 70psi at 2K rpm.  Has anyone else have
this problem.  How can I disable the oil light/buzzer?  It gets annoying
driving down the highway. Not to mention in town when there is no
engine/wind noise to drown it out.

 

Thanks

Nick
