Low oil pressure at idle, pulling my hair out, looking for any and all options.
Yeah that's our hope but worried, just doesn't make sense it drops almost 70PSI once warm. We have noticed with cold start, a lotta lifter chatter, once warm, nice and quiet. Old motor was a diff block but both were 200k miles. Piston slap was terrible.- kruznlow69
