It seems as if everything is pointing me towards installing the 1275 i have sitting in the basement. Yesterday I experienced a couple firsts while driving my 1098. I love that motor and it's been great until recently (with the starting issue as you may recall). When I rolled up to a stop sign yesterday the oil pressure gauge, which usually reads 20-25 at warm idle, went all the way to 0 (zero!) for just a moment and then back up to 20 right away. This happened again 1 time later in the day too. I also saw the temp in my car indicate over 190 in stop and go traffic for the first time ever yesterday. Within 20 minutes the warm idle pressure was about 17. Oil level was a little low but definitely not empty.
If I put the 1275 in for a little while now (it's condition is pretty much unknown but I got it from somebody that has had a few sprites and he said it was in good shape) what do you think the issue is and what should I do to freshen up the 1098 while it's out? I don't have the money for a full overhaul so what should I look for and what is the best case scenario?
