Exclamation I would not count on the oil pressure

As an indicator! Mine was 80 psi cold, 50 hot... no change from when new. But then the damage is almost entirely the bearings, and not any visible wear on the crank, etc... if your oil pressure is still high, then count your blessings and tear that motor down asap. You are gonna have to pull the motor and have the block disassembled, hot tanked and likely rebuilt. Yeah, I am sure you don't want to hear that any more than I did
