Ok, Here's another one of those instances where if I would have read my stinkin manual I wouldn't have been sweating for so long... I thought my 1.9 was wearing thin...my oil pressure light flickers after hot runs at idle...you know, when idling through toll plazas, etc...It never did it once I accelerated again, but, it did it...scared the poopsters out of me at times...hate warning lights! What's strange is that when I had the heads done the cylinder walls looked great...little or no wear...160K miles...go figure...I was worrying about bad bearings or whatever.... In any case, all this towing talk lately got me looking at my manual for my 85 to see if I could find anything on towing...I did not, but I DID find this sentence: "An occasional flickering of the oil pressure warning light when the engine is idling after a long high speed trip is no cause for concern if the light goes out upon acceleration." Note to self, read the stinkin manual... Dave 85 GL "Baby Bus" 85 "Goldy"
