akaelvis Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) I was wondering if anybody here has contact info for Glenn (aka Dot)? I bought the V12 240z that he built and I'd like to get a hold of him for some information. I tried the email address he has listed on here but it dosen't seem to be working. I'm also having a problem with my oil pressure in the V12 Jag motor. It used to go up to 20psi when I'd start the car and would be between 20 and 40psi when driving around but I noticed a couple days ago that I had almost no oil pressure when driving around. When it's cold and I start it up it seems normal (20psi) but after driving around for about 20 min there's almost no oil pressure again. The other thing I noticed is the temp gauge is not going up. I would have thought if it's not getting enough oil the engine temp would go up? I'm thinking it might be the oil pump but it's $200 to $500 for a new one so I wouldn't mind getting some more opinions. If anybody could help me with one or both of these problems I'd really appreciate it! Thanks Edited December 26, 2010 by BRAAP Edited out last name. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snailed Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) jesus, stop starting it haha. First, does it have oil in it? I would get under it and look around for big leaks if not. Put a new gauge directly on the engine and see if it agrees with the one inside. Do the radiator hoses get hot? Do those v12s have an enternal hose from the block to the filter like the I6 motors? oil cooler lines ok? Drop the pan and check the pickup for trash. Also check where it connects to the pump for leaks. Edited June 13, 2010 by Snailed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
