Just had the same oil pressure issue 10 psi. On O-470. My plunger had about 1/2 wear as the one you had there. Two cheapest parts I ever purchased. $18 plunger and $22 spring installed back to 50 psi hot. That 1” angle wrench is the only tool that works. Love the channel keep these videos coming
Being retired from GA, I really get a wonderful kick from watching your videos! Keep up the great work, hope your videos inspire future Aviation Maintenance Engineers to keep 'em flying! Aircraft cannot be fixed with programming "software"! Get your A&P, you will have unlimited work for the next 100 years! Now to make enough money for your time, diligence, and undertaking of responsibility to make flying work and get paid for it... hmmm! It seems, the larger the aircraft, the larger the paycheck?! The majority of the greatest individuals in aviation are mostly found in the GA sector! Nice video Aviation Squared, please keep them coming!
Truly enjoying your channel! Great content, interesting tools, and real knowledge. Extra credit for detailed explanations even a pilot can understand! You keep posting and I will keep on watching.
Just a suggestion, I'm an A&P and have seen low oil pressure on Continental engines. If you are still getting metal in your filter I'd check your lifters. They are known to break down.
I'm a pilot for fun and a crane operator for money. So I love little man's shirt. Lol My 6yo has mostly construction clothes. If there were more channels that shot their videos like y'all, I'd cancel all TV and be watching YT instead.
Just a footnote. Thanks for pointing me to the WERA wrenches! Man, those are cool. Getting a full set of the Jokers. I've run into this with relief valves. Metal particles can make a short piece of work on the relief valve seat! The problem simply multiplies.
And with your explanation of the whirlpool, I now understand why Jaguar XK engine relief valves are shaped the way they are. To stop exactly this happening. I made a video on my channel recutting my relief valve. Cool.
Just got my "Expander Boot" for the engine air intake. From cowling to alternate air box. Was not ripped but decaying. The red RTV is turn very soft and oily. Have you ever seen this? New in 1974 C-182P.
I have a similar problem in my O470-U. Would you consider taking a look at mine and doing the repair. I am located near Athens Ga. let me know and I can send you a message on FB.
