okay so been kind of busy but heres where im at. Have started the motor a few times and ticking seems to be stayng very consistent. Manual gauge is reading only about 6 psi which is pretty low and it is dropping oil pressure as gas pedal is pushed down. oil still looks clean but im not hearing a bottom end knock just ticking on the top end since im guessing its starving for oil. At this point the only thing i can think of is the screen is dirty on the pickup tube or the oil pump is failing? Wouldnt the pressure droping as rpms increase be more likely to be a dirty screen though since the oil pump would be forced to spin faster and at least try to create more pressure? Im not 100% opposed to putting a oil pump in it if need be but to do all that work and still not create enough psi is going to really suck plus cost me some $$$.
