low oil pressure?

[dswalterwi at gmail.com (Don Walter)]

We hooked up the 5 bar sending unit and gauge temporary to the car and we
have pressure.  According to the Bently we should have 2 bar at 2000 rpm and
we do!  It goes up to about 5 bar on higher rpm's.  So all is good.  We put
some SeaFoam in the oil as that is suppose to help clean and quite lifters.
We put the rest of the can into the gas to clean other bits.  We also hooked
up a fuel enrichment from TT that I had laying around that I took off my car
and didn't need any more (I have the TEC 2 HeHe).
