I found some interesting information on oil pressure, if you oil pressure drops across the entire range of operation from new it is worn main bearings, if it is good at lower rpms and drops off at higher rpms it indicates worn connecting rod bearings. The reason being centrifugal force. At 6000 rpms it is equivalent to the rod bearing spinning 165mph around a 1.5"? circle. WOW!!!!
