Not Ranked
All,
The oil pressure line is off the block in the lower front left, just behind the boss for the fuel pump...it is a stainless line screwed directly into the back of the Stewart Warner gauge.
In my gallery are some photos of the thermostat install, I have lots of others for the entire install.
The clutch is activated with a McLeod hyd throw-out bearing. I do not think it leaves a residual pressure when not disengaged ? Do not know.
I could try to move the crank back and forth at the bolt that holds on the dampener and see how much end play. Awkward to get a dial gauge down there.
In a week or so hope to pull the engine. Need to clean up the garage clutter and decide how to organize the disassembly. Do not want confusion of parts. What ever is salvageable going back in the bore it came from.
Goal is to be able to keep bearings in order, etc and see if there was a method to the madness as the pressure dropped.
I have more pics of the oil line setups I could repost on my gallery if need be.
Pete
