i have posted about this problem before but tried a few things and i still have a oil pressure problem. stock style oilling stage 2 4.1 .016 block. engine ran great for the first 200 miles.
took oil pan off. checked the pick tube for cracks, leaking, etc. resealed everything up.
filled with oil and new filter. 7.5 qt.
primed the pump
started the engine and had 75 psi at first, then it started dropping as it warmed up.
got down to about 20 psi and thought it was ok.
it stayed there about a minute and then dropped and the light came on 0 psi
shut it off before it hurt something i hope?
i can use a drill on the oil pump and the oil pressure will fluxuate from 50 psi and drops to 25 psi and back to 50psi. added oil to the engine 10 qts. total. same thing fluxuating pressure.
any help would be aprecated.
