    So I replaced my CAS oring and my valve cover gasket today, and then retimed it.(94 stock as far as I know)

    The car runs better, and hopefully will stop leaking that important fluid, but now I have a problem. Before this my oil press gauge worked for the most part, cold engine was around 60ish and normal temp/driving was 20 to 30 psi. Now at normal temp and same RPMs it is reading low, like barely off the lower pin low. The car has full oil and runs well....could I have messed up something? If so what do I need to look at first? And what great timing, what with the offer we made on a house being accepted and all...

    Never heard of that happening. I'm gonna step back and wait for Keith.

    Unplug the oil pressure sensor and clean the contacts. Or plug it all the way back in. It's near the oil filter and probably got knocked loose.
