SW66TTT Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I have a 2010 car with 70k miles on the clock, it drives absolutely fine no issues but I'm getting a bit paranoid about the gallery gaskets, I've looked back through the receipts I got with the car and no mention of gallery gaskets. I bought the car from a small dealer in Birmingham and he said the guy he got it from had changed to a Nismo so wondered if hes on here or any other previous owners on here. It mentions on a few of the receipts John Wood in 2019 and Andrew Darbyshire in 2020. Reg is LJ10 DEL, pearl white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 The only definitive way to know if the gaskets have been done if you don't have a receipt is to either hook up an independent oil pressure gauge and check, or to pull the front timing covers off mate.

Tomato Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 If the oil pressure is not low, would not worry too much. They dont just go pop, it will gradually reduce over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW66TTT Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 I've just done an oil pressure test. when first starting the car it shot up to 95psi then gradually dropped as the car warmed up, once warned up at idle it was around 30psi, at 2k rpm it was around 60psi, is that normal? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
