Oil pressure woes.
Noticed when I turn a corner(pretty hard considering road tyres) the gauge jumps down from 80 to 60psi then shoots straight back up, even if it's a long sweeping turn it will only do it on initial turn in then back up to 80 for the rest of the corner.
Does it both left and right, highly doubt it's a baffle problem because
1. I'm only on road tyres(on the road),
2. Baffles have always been installed and never noticed this issue.
I'll double check oil level when I get back to the yard but pretty sure it's full.
I can only really test it at speeds where I can turn and see the gauge at the same time. So soon as I get a pas seat in I'm going to get someone to check the gauge whilst I throw it about and give it some more revs.
My thoughts ATM are oil pickup gasket leaking alittle or I've dented the sump again.
Orrrr tegiwa supplied the wrong oil pick up pipe as that's new aswell.
Open to suggestions on how or why this is happening with the baffles in on aged road tyres...
