| normaly the truck has a 6 or 7 quart pan,low oil pressure indicates mostly a bearing wear/failure,bad lifters,cam lobe wear hardley affect oil pressure,but i have run into a unique problem, with oils,i have had the base separate from the carrier,gooey jelly,and a light oil ,the oil separated,bearing failure in no time,this not only happened to my fairlane,but my work truck(460)and a few other trucks,i had enough sense to shut it down when i heard the lifters rattle,and was still full of oil,they pulled the pan,found the same thing,the other guys blew their engines,all of us were running oil from the same vendor at the timealso another thing,in the early 70'sford did not warranty the 351 c if you used quaker state oil,the parrafin base would plug the returns in the heads |
