Took the Spitfire out for a run today and about 10 miles from home the oil pressure light came on. I pulled over to check the oil and there was plenty in the engine. I took the oil filler cap off to have a look in the rocker cover and there was oil coming through the rockers, I decided to drive her home at a steady pace. Once i got home I found an old gauge from a compressor I have and removed the pressure switch and fitted the gauge. When I started the engine the gauge went up to 30 psi on tickover and once the revs went op to 1000rpm the pressure went up to 60psi, luckily it looks like its only the switch thats faulty, another thing to buy. I will order a switch tonight.
