You are low on oil. Your oil pump could be bad. You cracked a sleeve. At least check your oil first and let us know.

ya the oil sending unit on the back of the block is just a dummy light. im confused on how the light isnt on at all times.


do you have a oil pressure gauge? if not i would invest in one. see what it is. if it seems low i would probably change oil pump.

what kind of oil what weight and what filter are you using???

well its not good when the light comes on cause i wanna say its trigered to come on when u only have like 7psi of oil pressure. but yours isnt plugged in.

i would either get a oil pressure gauge and see where your at on psi at all times(which can never hurt), or you can blindly start throwing money at it starting with the oil pump.
