AEC Matador oil pressure test

[@cwmbc]

Maybe the oil pump is dry due to standing. May need to prime it before going further. Or at least check inside the rocker box for signs of oil. The you know its a gauge issue. But dont crank too much till you know theres oil pressure. The bearings dont like running dry.

@@cwmbc Thank you for watching and thanks for the advice 👍

I suppose you know that sometimes you have to bleed air out of the gauge?

[@67Burwood]

@@Daniel-S1 To be honest I’ve never had to bleed air out of a gauge before but I’ll give it a go 👍

Much easier with an old low compression petrol GMC 270, even with the plugs in. 50psi in no time. Persevere and you will get there. On another subject. I believe Denmark used WOT6 trucks after the War. Just a thought for spares, before you have to have the pinion re-manufactured.

@@dukwdriver2909 Thanks for your comment and the Denmark tip 👍, I may have located an axle, condition unknown but anything is better than nothing.

Is the guage even working, might be worth starting with that.

@@DomingoDeSantaClara Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching, it’s on my list to check 👍
