Confusing Oil Pressure / Temp issue

[RandyArizona]

>>>>>I will be checking the gages for accuracy. Both pressure and temp.<<<

Easy cheap stuff first.

Service manual chapter / paragraph , 10-76
Gives you steps for low press and temp.
Is it complete? Not really, so systems knowledge comes into play.
It is a good start though.

Check out aerospace logic. I swapped out all of my gauges for theirs. Maybe do a couple at a time. Those numbers seem very low to me (337B)

Switch the temperature leads for the engines on the gage cluster. It's a easy way to see if the troubled engine temp is higher than indicated, that's a easy start.

Thanks All

Joes - How do you do that? I have 337D, I thought it's a "printed" circuit board with a connection plug on the left lower side of the board.

I haven't got back there to see if it the temp gauges are connected differently.

Pretty straight forward on the oil pressure swap though. Discovered a low indicating oil pressure gauge by swapping the oil pressure lines.

Thanks,

Bryan

It's a Card Edge Connector Housing that slips over the circuit board flat. The card edge connector is a part number A-MP 582376-9 69-49 and uses pin number 530004-7 TERM EDGE DUOTYNE 22-26AWG CRIMP. I'm told that a Gottlieb Pinball Edge Connector Pin Removal tool will help swap the pins once they have been located.
I have a extra Cessna 337 Instrument Gauge Cluster PN# C669506-0202 Fuel Engine Cluster Gauge if you would like to swap it out without all the pin switching.

Ok- I know the oil pressure issue is not the gauge. Swapping the gauge confirmed same low readings.

I also was able to get the cold oil pressure adjusted to the top of green, however, it took almost all of the adjustment screw to get there. That is not right, I'm thinking to myself.

Is there anyone out there who is willing to have a call to talk things through with me about my issue.

I know I have an oil pressure issue. However, I can't determine, if it is the pump not producing or there is an internal leak somewhere downstream.

I think I understand how the governor sends oil to the prop (Full Feather governor), but want to clarify what I know before I start taking parts off the engine.

PM me if you have time for a call.

Thanks,

Bryan

There is a spring, you can put washers in the shim/adjust the pressure. Best have someone thats done before with you. Not something you want to screw up….
