Jeep Performance Improvement Ideas
I don’t remember how old my front shocks are. I got them several years ago. I was feeling some looseness in the front so I thought it might be the shocks.
Our 944 race car lost oil pressure at AMP. It was driven about half a lap back to the pits after the oil pressure light came on. The cause was a broken oil pick up tube.
I am always disappointed with car movies. Ford v Ferrari was much better than most but it still had the same problems that always bug me.
On my last trip, I noticed that I had a leak in one of my trailer tires. I did not spot the injury on the road so I just kept an eye on it and made sure to keep refilling it with air.
Our race at AMP was cut short due to a sudden loss of oil pressure. We tried to diagnose at the track, but the crack pulley was tight and the oil level was correct so we knew a removal and disassembly was next on the diagnostic list.
Back in the shop, I pulled the engine and dropped the oil pan. Inside, where it should not be, was part of the oil pick up tube. The remainder was still bolted to the block.
