Seeing as how the engine is almost 30 years old with 60k miles, and assuming that its never been rebuilt, it must have had quite a bit of sitting time. Possibly your water passages in the block are clogged with corrosion and pieces of metal. These pieces could be large enough to stay in the block, even through numerous flushings. And if the engine was rebuilt, was the block hot tanked and cleaned? If not, all that corrosion has probably been there all the time.
As for the oil pressure, it could be a number of things. It could be blocked oil passages. If the engine has been rebuilt, replacing hydraulic lifters with solid lifter causes low oil pressure. Could be that oil passages were opened or closed during a rebuild. Could be the viscosity of the oil is too thin.
Maybe you should rebuild? |
