On my 6 bolt with 7 bolt head that is in my 2g, I am trying to diagnose low and high pressure issue. I do not have balance shafts and I dont know if the ofh was ported or not.
Cold start=70 psi
Warm=15
Cruising=30-50
My issue is I am leaking oil under the timing cover and for the life of me I cant pin point where it is coming from. I also see oil on the outside of the timing cover. I dont know if its spraying or what. When I pulled the timing cover, there was oil traces on some of the timing component bolts. The balance shaft area seems to be leak free. Oil just seems to be getting everywhere. It's not enough to show on the dipstick.
Second issue, after a short drive and a few pulls, I pull in the garage, the car is wanting to stall a little and oil pressure goes 6-8 psi without balance shafts. Can something be wrong with the pressure relief valve? Or what should the solution be. And could this be related to causing my leak? This low oil pressure issue is only after driving. I cant find the leak even with it idling.
