- That sounds a little low but no terminally so. You may have excess clearances in the oil pump and a fresh pump may improve things significantly. Camshaft clearances also help determine oil pressure b

- I agree with what Dave said. While the numbers are lower than you will see for a fresh motor, or even a well worn one in good nick, I have driven many motors many miles with similar numbers and nothi

- Those pressures seem totally reasonable; my target is usually 10PSI/1000rpm. Too high an oil pressure is just robbing power from the engine. One thing you didn't look at, and is not an uncommon probl

- Thanks all for the responses. When I wrote the original message I forgot to mention that I had checked the thrust washers. I did look at the rocker shaft and it appears to have been replaced by a pre
