Re: Factory oil pressure gauge fluctuates while braking

Here's a few pictures of my engine with the pick-up tube off. And one with the new engine I had to put in because it flat lobed the cam. You can see the difference and how the oil pump could cavitate if the pick-up fell off.

This one is not a real good picture of the pick-up. It sits right on the bottom of the oil pan so it's easy to see how it could cause the oil pump to cavitate if it fell off.
