Re: testing pan pressure
A three bar manifold absolute pressure sensor can be use to measure crankcase pressure and vacuum.
I use a Dwyer flow meter to measure blow by, I suppose that you could calculate pressure from that.

Re: testing pan pressure
Mike/alan, thanks for the info. What i'm after is a reference point
is the ring blow by that presureizes the oil pan. This ref. Point will start the season and monitored after every race while the motor is still "hot". Reference point will be a steady 5000 rpm (no load). This process should yield enough info. To deterimine if the ring's are starting to go "south" (no pun intended as i live in the south of texas....what do you thnk???? |

Re: testing pan pressure
Any data logger that has a 5 volt reference signal and can read the 5 volt return can read and log the 3 bar MAP sensor data.

Re: testing pan pressure

Ed, I'm educated by my myriad of errors.
