Guess what! It didnt work! It went back to 0 psi @ Idle, Pressure is good @ High RPMs but? Must be the motor is got alot of miles on it...ohh well she runs good tho so I will focuse on the Suspension and tires and wheels....

The 0 psi at idle was with the mechanical gage ? There is a pressure relief in the oiling system and it could be stuck in the relieving position . I have never had any issue with one but I know this can happen. The oil pump is a positive displacement pump , so it must bypass when the oil is cold to keep the pressure below 70 PSI. If it sticks open , what you are experiencing could likely be the result. I believe it is right at the oil filter in the side of the block. As I said I have never had any problem with this so therefor no personal experience. 0 pressure on a running engine is NOT acceptable . What is the point in ignoring this and doing the suspension and loosing the engine ? Gary
