hey guys, this JUST happenned today when i was driving back home from work. the car felt really heavy, ruff, when in gear. also noticed that the oil pressure bar was just one bar away from 8kg/cm3. i never really take not of the oil pressure, but i do know that the ideal 4kg/cm3. is that correct. is this a potential problem? any ideas whats goin on?

Not sure, but I'd say a big end is on the way out, you have an oil blockage, probably at the big end journals, your motor is in dire need of a rebuild. If you keep driving it you will kill it big time.

But I'd get a second opinion, bl##dy hard to diagnose over the web........

If it was cold and when you first started it up, c'mon, oil pressure will go to 8 and your car will be a bit rough until it warms up. If its happening when its warm, thats a different story.

thats what i thought at first.. but the oil pressure keeps going up to the marking below 8 even when the engine has been running for a while. goin to xspeed on friday to get it chkd out..
