I was planning a road trip that turned into an engine swap.
After seven straight days spent crawling around uder the car, I have the new engine transmission etc attached and adjusted. So maiden voyage around the block: this is sweet. A couple of miles later the oil pressure falls to green light at idle. U turn for a mile home at 20 psi, keeping the revs at 2000. Ahem, this is the problem I built the engine for to solve! Please help. This makes me want British sports cars for their reliability...
