I will see if I have a shop gauge to check my dash oil pressure gauge tommorrow.

I put about 300 milles on this car when I first got it last year and didn't notice any noise. Winter came and I added a oil cooler with T stat and changed oil. I wonder if the cooler and T stat could have caused a restriction?

I may put the standard FE filter housing on tommorrow and see what my pressure looks like.

It does not seem likely I am running out of oil in the sump. The noise is at idle and not at higher rpms.
