Default Re: Leaking oil low oil pressure switch

Hi Everyone,

Earlier in the thread I mentioned that if something jumped out at me I would pass it on. Well something did.

But first, the reassembly of the right side of the motor went text book. it is all back together and running fine. I will hold my breath and look in the drip pan for any leaks tomorrow AM. I drove the ZR hard from Fairfax, VT to Burlington, VT and back (65 miles) and it seemed to pass the first smoke test.

Now on to the interesting find. When it came time to refill the system I tried Mark H's procedure and filled the system with the ZR jacked up on the right side about 18" so that the reservoir is much higher and is the very high point of the system. The method is the only way to go if you have a floor jack capable of raising the car high enough. IT IS A REALLY SLICK WAY TO GO AS THE SYSTEM REALLY FILLS VERY FAST AND I DID NOT GET A WP AIR LOCK.

Thanks Mark for the great filling procedure.
