Oil pressure buzzer sounds when in hard right turns....

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

might want to check the oil pickup / oil level. i dont think its physically 
possible to corner harder than the example i'm going off of (the rieger), 
and with oil level at the top of the hashes i dont pick up the buzzer, even 
in extreme hard cornering (inside rear in the air, braking slightly, 
sustained for >~1 second (the time required to pick up the >2k buzzer). if i 
try to pull that maneuver with oil at the half way mark, i will get the 
buzzer (yup, its that picky).

those who know i have a 2.0 in there now - yes it does have the factory 
windage/baffle plate, but the result was the same even with the 1.8 in there 
(with no baffle plate at all).

realize that you do get more body roll if your bushings are tired, or if 
you're running an otherwise non-stock suspension setup. this may make 
picking up the buzzer more likely, as the body roll has the same impact on 
the oil pickup as the lateral g's.
