Very curious!!!??

well I am going to do a compression check this afternoon... but it seems like it is the intake maybe the problem... hope I don't have a larger issue.

I may also try and find a oil pressure tester to determine if my gauge or sender are bad... I have always thought it was low... but this motor does not even have 3k miles on it

back to the shop I go
