What question about oil pressure? That was a statement by you.

JF? I'm not a moderator there. And BTW, I was INVITED to become a moderator here on CF. Why? Because I sort out the bull****. Spout bull**** repeatedly and you will be called to task. The pattern? Yes, it's there. Truth will be tolerated, not conjecture by the misinformed.

I will not allow fellow members of Cherokee Forum to be lead astray by misinformed folks such as yourself. That's a duty of a moderator.

You think I want folks believing that crap you type when it's not the truth?

cruiser54

Exactly. Poor JF is dying slowly. I hate to see that happen.

Most of 36,000 posts? You must read FAST.

I'm suspecting he/she is making a judgement based only on my posts here.

Not an accurate cross section at all. Just highlights my intolerance for bull****.

I'm not alone. All the other moderators here are the same way. That's what makes CF different and better. We take care of our members, help them, shield them from irresponsible keyboard warriors who are poorly informed.

I didn't have to read them all, just first ten or so to see the pattern. So, back to the question, since you seem to know so much. Then why did my oil pressure go up after I changed the gasket? Telling me that I'm clueless , doesn't answer my question. And BTW, I agree, you are full of yourself, and BS. I came here to learn, not be ridiculed. I didn't type in any BS, only what I experienced. What do I stand to gain by passing on B'S ???

cruiser54

Purely coincidence.

Crankcase pressure, valve cover venting, gasket replacement have nothing to do with oil pressure inside the engine.

Liquid pressure in the oiling system is stand alone. The oil pump and bearing clearances have nothing to do with the others.

Agreed. That's why I'm here and don't bother with other XJ sites anymore. It's also why I try to help where I can but keep my thoughts to myself if I'm not sure.

CRLAMBERTJR, any oil pressure change observed from the gasket replacement is coincidence or at best a difference of oil temperature (and thus pressure) when the observations were made. Plug up your crankcase vents in the valve cover and see how it affects oil pressure. It won't--it will only result in oil spewing out the path of least resistance, and I can assure you that's not through the oil pump. The oiling system, combustion chambers and crankcase are three separate systems.

That's why I'm here, tons of good info, especially for the XJ. I wasn't the one that said that there was no pressure. Didn't want to start a rant thread. I only stated what I observed. So I've pretty much decided after reading Salads oil sermon, that I'm going to switch to Rotella T6 tractor oil !!! Lol Wiz filters. Going to do the water thing with the big cup. Probably skip the Seafoam. Planning on upgrading the injectors. Going to get underneath and clean everything good and check to see if the rear main seal is really leaking. If not, just going to drop the pan and slide the gasket in past the oil pump. As for the Bosch EV6 4-hole injectors, wanting to think that I read they were 24lbs? Does anyone know about the 12-hole injectors ? What are the OEM injectors pressure rating. So if the PCM, adjusts the fuel to the injectors, cutting them back, would they still get better atomization ???

Tbone289

cruiser54 said there is no pressure in the crankcase. Is that what you're referring to here? He is correct.

You might want to start a new thread on injectors, or do a search. There has been lots of discussion here on that subject, and it's a bit off topic for this oil discussion.

Huh???
I think your fliminjammer is hitting side ways on your knock damper.

4WD4EVER

Well said.

CRLAMBERTJR

All I said, was that the oil pressure gauge went up about 10lbs after I changed the gasket on the valve cover! He's the one who dropped a log and pretty much decided that I was a liar!!! Then had no answer why and told me that I'm clueless ? But still no answer, just a coincidence!!! Hell,,, it's a friggin miracle !!! Grab you a big ol Snickers bar and some Midol and get over it !!!

Jeebus. Shut up about it already.

Cruiser has been here for YEARS doling out great info all along, and he is well regarded here. So my advice is you have 2 ears and one voice, they are best used in proportion.

You just joined recently, and seems you have a chip on your shoulder.

I'll just say this, you attract more flies with honey than vinegar. And, I already know there's more than a few people who are now reluctant to help you. Most everything has already been asked and answered, and searching will yield results.

Good luck to you. I highly recommend an attitude adjustment here, though. Be respectful to others and they'll respect you.

4WD4EVER

CR, you seem like a straight-shooter so, I'm gonna shoot you straight: You will get all the help, insight, tips, and secrets to keep your XJ running it's finest from the people on this forum if you can listen. Hell, you might even make some friends! Maybe start over, whaddaya say?

CRLAMBERTJR

I don't like being told I'm spreading BS.. Respect is a two way street. I don't need a damn thing from anyone here, I'll be just fine.
