I have to get an oil pressure gauge and fitting to screw it into the existing oil sender.
I think I'll check out my daughter's oil burner (1 qt./1K miles) oil pressure also. This is the first B230 I have had that burns oil and it only has about 140K miles on it. I have replaced the plastic breather unit and checked all the hoses.
I also have a 1994 940 I bought for $200 Nov. 30th and have replaced the oil pan (very rusty) and rear main seal and front transmission seal but haven't driven it this Winter more than a few miles. I am a little concerned about a ticking sound I can hear under the engine when idling, any ideas? It does run well.
Yes, the B230s are a great engine. We have had about 15 of them and a couple B23s and a couple B20s. The thing that kills the bodies here in MN is the corrosion. We have 4 still running from FL, AZ, and SC that are a pleasure to work on underneath.
