Well, Tom, IMHO the car gets no lubrication when it needs it the most: when it's cold. Running a cold engine without pressure will decrease the bearings top layer faster than normal. I don't like tha

I would be the last person to doubt Twist but I believe the oil circulates directly to the bearings before it gets to the filter. This does not keep the pressure from lagging on first start because t

If the engine was rebuilt they may not have flushed it out completely. If this is the case you may not be getting good circulation. as a first step you may want to pull the oil pressure relief valve

Bob, I'm not one for technical, but your pressure is too low. Leaks aren't the cause. I would at a minimum replace the oil pump and rod bearings. I assume the pressure gage is all right, they usually

Hi Saman: Normal running oil pressure in an MGA is 10 to 25 lb./sq.in.(minimum) and 50 to 75 lb./sq.in. (maximum). I hope this helps. Cheers:
