Why does my Mitsubishi 4M40 engine blow oil?
This is a symptom of blow by and these engines are very specific to assembly guidelines. Here is a link to a free service manual to the 4M40 engine. http://www.onlinefre eebooks.net/automoti ve-machinery-power-e quipment-ebooks/mits ubishi/mitsubishi-en gine-4m40-workshop-m anual-pdf.html
Can a high oil pressure cause low oil pressure?
Unfortunately, high oil pressure will also cause low oil pressure in another part of your engine. Therefore it is essential not to let your engine run before you fix the clogged oil passage. Are you sure there is actually high oil pressure in your engine or is it a chance that the sensor or gauge shows you the wrong oil pressure?
When does the oil pressure go up or down?
When your engine is idle or when you’ve just started your car, the oil pressure gauge will have a low reading. When the engine starts running and heating up or when you’re already cruising on the freeway, your gauge’s reading should increase.

How can you tell if your oil pressure unit is failing?
Oil Pressure Reporting Erratically This is perhaps the most telltale sign of a malfunctioning sending unit. If your oil pressure gauge or engine oil warning light have very sporadic behavior—the gauge moving from low to high or high to low randomly or the light coming on and off frequently—you can be sure there’s a problem with the sending unit.
What happens if your oil pressure is low?
Without oil pressure an engine will experience extreme internal engine damage due to heat caused by friction. All engines run on a pre-set pressure that cannot be adjusted. This pressure will vary depending on engine speed, temperature and weight oil. As a rule of thumb, the engine oil pressure gauge shouldn’t drop below…
How to do a compression test on a Mitsubishi 4M40?
Do the compression test on each cylinder again with throttle wide open, note each reading. Pop a few spoonfuls of oil in a cylinder, make the test again. Then the next cylinder also with oil and pressure check….and so on for each cylinder.
