Hello to all. A few months ago, I had posted about a drop in oil pressure on my '99 FLHTCU and got a lot of info from the responses. Thanks. Yesterday, it was about 55 here in South Jersey and I hit the road. For the first hour, oil pressure was right at 30 lbs. When I stopped for a light or stop sign it went to 10 lbs. About an hour into the ride, I noticed that the 30 lbs reading had become 15 lbs, and the idle reading was about 0. OK, I know that as the engine heats the viscosity goes down, etc., but why after an hour? It had to have reached operating temperature long before that. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I plan to take the cam cover off in a few weeks and check everything out. At the least, I'll install a Baisley spring. Thanks for the input....
