Re: Oil pressure driving me crazy
The cam bearings being bad was my worst case scenario. But that still leaves me confused. The rod bearing on the bottom end should be the last step in the chain. When i had the pan off the rods were solid. You'd think they would have a good bit of play.
I should mention oil pressure holds steady at idle. It's a nice solid 35 psi. When I drop in gear is when it gets wonky. I could run a heavier weight oil, or put in a high volume pump... But I don't know how long either patch may last.
