[Shotimes] Rod bearings

[Neno Albert]

That's what sucks! It's all a guessing game. My '91 never set off the oil pressure light, although
w/ the ignition on and the engine off, it did self test and light up. I now have a oil pressure
gauge in my '89 and reads 65 on cold start and ~10-15 when warm. Problem is, the unit line is
leaking right at the block. Looks as if the previous owner had a hard time keeping the the line
from bending and cracking... gotta fix that! My question is, though, what pressure would be a
noticable indication of bearing failure? I've never experienced such a indication.. yet!
