PARAGON has a little shameless behaviour in the past

I disagree with Paragon.

Air cooled or not, the oil pressure must not ever drop to "0" when running. Really a no-brainer...

And this was in fact what was going on with the Pinzgauer. The pump would produce enough pressure at higher speeds/lower gearing to increase oil pressure, while the looseness on the oil pick-up tube was enough to cause a pressure loss when the RPM's were low to medium, so depending on speed or gearing, I got the same readings as you, up and down. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Which one, the pump or the sump? The Pinzauer engine has a dual system the sucks and pumps oil through the engine. Otherwise I am not going to argue this stupidity with you in this thread. Jonahs' pressure dropped to zero once and only once, it didn't go from zero to pressure back to zero as you ignorantly state.

Besides, Pinzgauers don't even have a pressure gauge, something you should know if YOU got the same readings.
