hey guys, quiet a wile back i had my water pump lock up on my 3.1, i was pissed off and i really didnt give a damn, so i just drove it home... needless to say the temp hand was bottomed out. well i noticed that once i got home the oil pressure was low, well i figured it was because the oil was crazy hot, built the hybrid. changed the oil befor cranking it, changed the oil again after a few days, and it was still low (running 20 psi and lower at idle) and between 20 and probably 30 or so throughout the rest of the rpm range, i changed the opsu and drained 3/4's of a quart of oil and added 3/4's of a quart of that lucas oil stabalizer shit. and its no different. when you shine a light into the valve pan covers you can see the oil flowing fine. but its running crazy low.
im going to change the oil, and oil pan gasket. going to check the oil pump screen and see if its blocked or anything. do you guys have any other ideas of stuff to check?
thanx guys!
