RE: Low FE428 Oil Pressure...Help
By John - 11/05/2000 10:20:56 PM; IP 142.177.75.14
Well.....I have received many responses from this and other forums, and the overwhelming advice is bad rod bearings, even though I have no debris in the oil.

So,.....considrr this....the only time the rod bearings get full oil pressure is when the crank and rod holes align with the oil galery feed.....twice per revolution and only for a very short time. Can this really affect oil pressure readings to a significant degree?

I do have excessive rod side clearances, but they are the same as when I rebuilt the engine.....2000 miles ago.

I think I have to pull the engine....bearings must be it. The car is like a rocket on wheels, so no douobt I have sucked air inot the oil pump when all teh pan oil is back against the rear wall of the pan. Maybe a dry sump system next....$$$....that's all it takes.....chuckle!

Thanks to everyone who helped.

John
