HELP ME! ANY1 HAVE AN ENGINE PRESSURE GAUGE?

Bloody snow, not only does the stuff ruin a perfectly good ride but it plays havoc with oil systems too... gggrrrr.CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ...i need an engine prussure gauge does neone have one that i can borrow its URGANT thanks xx

 

I don;t ,but do you mean summat to put in a plughole to check compression? What's up?

 

Yeah thats it, f..king thing, its got mayonnise for oil and i have a hoorible feeling it wont just be a new filter i need

 

Drain the oil and have a look at it then. Is your bike air or liquid cooled?

 

thats the thing its just air cooled

 

It shouldn't play havoc with oil systems, as the pour point of Grade 3 oils (most bike oil) is about -10°

As Mega says, do you mean a compression tester or an oil pressure gauge. If you mean oil pressue gauge you have a light that shows when its too low, if you want an indipendant gauge you'll need a take off pipe fitted to the sump.

What's the problem?

 

Probably just condensation then! Get engine warm, in a warm garage preferably, drain oil out and leave moisture to evaporate. Don't forget to put drain plug and oil back in though, or replace oil with fresh stuff?

 

Dammit, replies while I replied.

Chances are its just a little emulsifiying due to the cold, condensation forms in the pathways and causes the milky looking deposits. A healthy blast will evaporate the water and clear it up. If the whole of the oil is milky its a headgasket indicator.

 

Thank you guys that confirms my bf suspitions, i was panicing it might be the gasket lol

 

Yeah, what he said!

 

That's what happens when you don't ride it enough?

 

Speak for yourself, that thing is on the road everyday regardless of the weather

 

Hmmm, wonder how it got condensation in it then. Is it parked outside?

 

Hot engine, cold atmosphere. Same way condensation usually forms

 

It is and although im ashamed to admit it , it rarely gets covered,,it was a snow sculpture on monday
