My engine has about 6k miles on it after an unknown rebuild. It's very strong but suffers from low oil pressure.
What are the possible causes? Any cures? |

Well........my 2.7L doesn't have the oil pressure it did when I first built it. It's down to about 15 psi at idle.. 2.5 bar at 3K..hot. I've been abusing it some....not getting it up to temp before the first AX pass, ect. Prolly don't have 4k miles on it....most of them are hard miles. Bearings are the usual suspects, I'm afeared (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
