Saw the switch was $2 on rock auto so figure it’s worth a try. We’ll see what happens when it gets here.

Well I put the switch in and the oil light went away. Took it to the store seemed to drive fine. Was excited. Came back out from the store and it started but was missing bad. Drove about 200ft. Shut it off. Started back up and was smoking and running super rough. then wouldn’t start. Towed it home and has froth in the oil cap and tested positive for exhaust gas in the coolant. Probably gonna call it quits on this one.

Sorry to hear of you giving up on it. Might be worth having an autopsy done on it to find out if it was just a blown head gasket, or a cracked head.
