Hi all,
Thanks for adding me. I’m based in the UK and fly an RV7 A that was built in 2006. Lycoming 0-320 160hp motor.
I have an oil pressure issue and have had it checked by an engineer with a calibrated gauge. My oil pressure reading seems to be about 20 to 30 psi below the actual pressure. I bought a new transducer from Vans recently and fitted it today. This hasn’t fixed the problem so I can only assume it’s the gauge that needs replacing.
It would appear that the gauge I have is no longer made or supported, so I wondered if anyone had one lying around having done a cockpit upgrade, I would be willing to sell it to me and send it to the UK. If that’s a pain to do, I have friends in the US who you could ship it to and they could send it on to me.
I’m attaching a photo of my gauge and, as you can see, the oil pressure reading in flight is low.
Thanks in advance,
Dom
