Bob,

I have heard a number of stories from people about how they noticed their oil pressure dropping and when they checked their oil, found it was down a couple of quarts...

When they added oil, the pressure went back up.

This puzzled me. I wouldn't have thought that could be possible (unless they were down MORE than a couple of quarts - I guess)

Perhaps a restrictor in the head is missing in these cases as too much oil is ending up in the valve train area.

Just a thought.
