get an oil change and see if you get the same result
any time you flush an engine the posibility of getting gunk on the oil pump screen is good. You may have to remove the oil pan and clean the pickup screen.
ANSWER
back in the day cars had gauges oil, water and son now we have lights the gauges read out in numbers indicating how much pressure and since we have lights we as a people get alerted , and for good reason, a light normally means your oil pump is not pump the right amount of oil its pumping just slower or faster thus the light remains on...

In order to remove the cylinder heads on a F-150 4.2 L 1998 do you have to remove the intake manifolds?
i believe so Yes. Maybe your problem is the intake manifold gaskets rather than the head gaskets. What are the symptons?
Can a intake gasket be blown without signs of a headgasket problem?
YES. The intake gaskets have NOTHING to do with the head gaskets. It is a very common problem that the intake gaskets blow. It is not common for the head gaskets to leak unless the engine was over heated, and I mean HOT.

How do you know if alcohol is related to your flushing?
Stop drinking for a couple of weeks and see if the flushing stops. If you can't stop drinking for that long, you have a much bigger problem than the flushing.
Can abad intake gasket in a Chevy truck 4.3 liter cause water in the egine block?
You will need to replace the intake gaskets to fix your problem. The HEAD GASKETS will not be your problem.
What causes oil in the radiator of a Dodge Stratus?

Your daughter has a 1999 Malibu you have changed the intake gaskets and It is overheating It is also running a little rough Any ideas?
i take it its a 3.1, i did this job a couple months ago, the reason for over heating, did you flush the old gunk out of coolant system, when you were done replacing gaskets. what i did was flush out system, and replaced thermostat while doing intake gaskets. no problem so far!!! as for the roughness it could be anything. but the number 1 problem is a vaccum leak, or fuel injectors are leaking into cylinder making it over rich mixture.
How do you rectify the problem with sticking clutch on Fiat Ducato 2.3 Van Is it the Master Cylinder causing the problem?
The clutch, if it is hydraulic, uses a master and a slave cylinder. They would both need to be checked for functionality. This could include new seals (in both) and complete flushing and bleeding of the system. The clutch may only require adjustment of the mechanism at the gearbox, but check the lot if in any doubt.
Is it common for intake gaskets and head gaskets to blow on a 99 Tahoe?
From 1996 to late 1999 There was a problem with the intake gasket design on the Vortec engines. They have sents redesigned the gasket and now it does not leak as often. Intake Gaskets leaking is a common problem. Now the only time you have a problem with the heads is when the engine is over heated, and I mean HOT. Then the heads warp and the head gaskets leak or blow. Chevy just don't have problems with the heads on the V6 and V8 engines.
What causes water and oil to mixed in a 350 Chevy engine?
I have the same problem. The usual suspects would be the intake manifold gasket, however, it could be a cracked block or head, or uneven mating surface. Last year my 383, (stroked 350 chevy) had a problem with the driver side cylinder head. I use aftermarket aluminum heads by ProTopline. The problem was the oil drain passage in the head wore through to the water jacket and promptly destroyed the lower end and camshaft. The head manufacturer did not stand good for the issue. Anyway, I would start by changing the intake manifold gaskets. Also, do not use the rubber gaskets that come in the gasket pack as they are all but impossible to line up. Simply use a 1/4 inch bead of black RTV gasket cement on the front and rear of the block-not the paper gaskets on the sides that go against the heads. Be sure to use a little extra RTV where the paper gaskets meet the silicon beads.
Does the 1993 olds bravada with the 4.3 L motor have a problem with faulty gaskets that cause coolant leaks?
