Re: oil pressure problem
Clarification - A loss of clamp load does not "spin bearings". When you see a spun bearing, you also see it extrude out from the sides. This is not because something was loose, but because everything was tight. In other words, the loose cap and spun bearing is a symptom of a larger problem.
A loss of clamp load will result in a bearing that retains its original width, but flattens out and has "bite / chomp" type witness marks. This is from the cyclic load on the rod journal...open, close, open, close...bite, chomp, bote, chomp.... |

Re: oil pressure problem
I can not imagine anybody putting a high volume oil pump in a SBC. Don't know why they even make them.

Re: oil pressure problem
What happens if you put another half quart or more above " measured normal oil level"?
