[QUOTE="Pennine Ploughing, post: 3595344, member: 999"] the FE 4 cylinder 35, has main bearings the size if dinner plates, and a very slight wear will let oil out, and therefore a drop in oil pressure will occur, just because it has no oil pressure, don't mean its not getting any oil, it could mean there is plenty of oil getting there, just nothing to hold it in, with a cold engine, before starting, screw the relief valve adjuster in, you will find it on the oil filter housing, count the turns in, start from cold, it should show some oil pressure till engine is warm, if there is something there, return the adjust screw back to where it was, if to low and worried about it, then full rebuild is needed edit just to let you know how to do mains on the crank, the engine must be removed from the tractor, take off the sump and drain all oil, sit engine right way up, remove the head and front timing cover, turn engine on its side, remove con rods c/w pistons, remove timing chain, remove clutch cover and flywheel, stand engine on it's front, is the timing cover end, the crank comes out through back of the block towards the bell housing as you might say, you need a block and tackle to lift it out, as it is heavy and awkward, , once out refit new mains to fit reground crank, and do the above in reverse order, best of luck getting it all timed back up spot on, as near enough will not do, oh and fit a good quality oil pump, or recon the old one, you will be better fitting a new timing chain and slipper as well, needs a complete set of gaskets and about 25 hours of time, best if you have a dial gauge for the timing, best of luck, ps might be better just selling it if you don't know what you are doing or never done one before [/QUOTE]
