[Vwdiesel] Re-ringing a Rabbit --Oil pressure test bad

[Libbybapa at wmconnect.com]

It would seem to me that oil pressure, oil leaks and blowby are three 
completely unrelated items.  Does your oil pressure tango?  How low does it go? 
(warmed up and idling?  Did you use cut off bolts to keep the head gasket in place? 
 How 'bout pressure at the pump sensor?  Don't you give up.

P.S.  I once had an engine Sieze approx. six months after complete rebuild.  
Started it up backed out the driveway, first gear, went to shift into second, 
stalled.  That's wierd she never stalls!  Click, click went the started.  0 to 
very bad day in 1 second.  Aparently a little piece of aluminum (not a diesel 
VW) from the align bore had finally made it to the crank bearing.  (Why 
didn't the pressure washer blow it out of the gallery?) Pinch.  I bet if I had been 
under load I might/might not have felt a hiccup before it clearanced itself.  
Buffed the aluminum off the crank.  It didn't even leave a mark.
