Yeah. The pressure at 3k rpms is only about 40psi and the service manual states that the minimum is 60 psi. I was driving today and I coasted to a stop and my oil pressure dropped to zero and my idiot light started blinking at me. I guess it is telling me something.....
Anyway, I will check the oil pickup because that is the only thing I can think of since there is no external leaks at all. Is there anything else I could have botched during the "rebuild"?
