RE: Oil Pressure Problem

Well the straight weight oil is worth a try. I was theorizing that the next step may be a complete teardown because everything is worn out....and that is a possibility since I don't have any long term history on this car. I am building another 390 in the basement so I didn't want to pull this engine until I get the new one done. The new engine is the obvious fix but I want to run this existing one as long as possible until I am able to fund the rest of the rebuild and a transmission overhaul for the new engine.

One more question comes to mind. When I started on this quest for oil pressure. I also changed the leaky rear main seal in this engine while the pan was down. The new seal was fine for a few months but is now starting to leak again. What is the trick for getting a good long term seal on these engines. I used a FelPro rubber seal instead of the old rope type that was in there.
This thread, so far...
