Rv8 Oil pump Inlet/Sensors
Irony - 21/7/10 at 07:32 PM

Here is a picture of my V8 oil pump. Can some one tell me what all the inlets/outlets sensors do? I know that C is the pressure relief valve.

Cheers

They made more than one type of these, that looks like a very early range rover one to me.

You get:

-low pressure switch
-Electric oil pressure sender
-Electric oil tempreture sender

From your bits it looks like D has a capillery oil pressure gauge adaptor fitted.

from memory

a low presure light dash
b low presure to ecu (cuts engine )
c presure relife valve ( regulates what little oil pres ure you have ) CLEAN THIS
d presure gauge ( if fitted )

( a and b ) are interchangable

Concur with this as mine stuck and I had about 2psi for a couple of miles (and knocking afterwards!)
