but wait! why is the oil pressure sensor on top of the hpop reservoir. That is a closed loop system that feeds the injectors it can't be reading lube oil pressure!


Sorry I couldn't resist!

My comment was tongue and cheek. it is a great spot to read lube oil pressure because there is flow and pressure there. My comment was to harass Bill Hewitt on his upper end oil change crap!

Don't forget to change your HPOP oil. Lol
