:eusa_think:hi i have a oil pressure problom with my pro, rebuilt mildy built 360 la engine ,has 4000 miles at about 2000 mile range pressure dramaticly droped why is this happening? i pulled pan a replaced oil pump thinking it may have been defective but nothing changed. so now i have pulled engine out of the car
an comenced a serious inspection,started with cam an lifters, cam bearings got a good track an visably look fine an no spining but, on the #3 cam journal bearing is about 0.10s out of the journal would this cause the problom stated? oil viscosity is 10/30 /fram filter/hp/ hp/melling pump tryed 3 diff, types of oil an viscositiy ranges no difference.
oil pressure range cold idle 50/65
oil pressure range hot idle is 5/15 full rev 25
drops 10 at a time between 150 degrees temp an 190 never touching gas whats wrong with my baby rarely beat on it an never overheated???
