On another note car was shaking so badly that I damaged my hinges /
springs. Hood will no longer hold itself up unless I open fully, and then I
think it's more along the lines of being at an angle that won't let it fall
more than holding itself there.

I couldn't see anything inside for the amount of white smoke coming outside.
I understand this is blow by? Opened oil filler, put in about a half quart
of fresh oil, left filler cap off and started car. White smoke was
immediate. I'm not sure I want to know what that means. I did see a lot of

You can verify oil circulation by taking off the oil filler cap while
the engine is running and look at the oil flow around the lifters.
You can check for sludge on top, the same way. You can check for
sludge on the bottom by pulling the lower oil pan. Generally if
there is no sludge on top,
Right possibly plugged oil galley I assume is very bad and requires
lot of work.

If you pull the lid off the filter and the contents don't look like
sludge, and a properly functioning gauge reads 3 bar when running,
you either have a plugged oil galley or good oil flow.

I believe what the gauge is showing is the outlet pressure from the oil filter.

I agree. If your pressure is that low at hot idle you are either using too
light an oil, you have an oil pump problem, or your engine is just really worn.
If the pressure is always pegged, could mean a stuck relief valve.
With any abnormal readings, it's a good idea to verify the actual pressur
Why don't you change the oil and the filter and eliminate the possibility? If
this car has the oil filter stem with o-rings, change those as well.
Oil pressure is measured via an oil feed line from oil filter housing area to
the gauge.

On the older engines there's a tube or pipe directly connecting the engine to
the gauge. The gauge reads the actual physical pressure. The gauge should be
pegged during driving and should indicate at least 1 bar/15 PSI at hot idle.
I think the newer engines have an electrical sender. Not sure
On the 61x there is a a tube that runs from the oil filter housing to
the gauge. I also believe there is a oil pressure relief valve in the
area, I could be wrong.

What, and how, does the gauge actually meter the oil pressure? Mine
usually stays completely pegged at 3 (bar?) Every so often it will
fall off that. When I first bought the car it moved around a bit,
about a week later it started the staying pegged thing. Last night it
was moving around
If flow is low, pressure will usually be low.

Is there anyway to verify the pump is properly circulating oil and not
gummed up sucking on sludge? Without tearing the engine down?
