Quote: Pac on yours that emptied the pan. what symptoms was it showing? low PSI? bearing probs?
From a dead stop if I accelerated hard I could watch the autometer oil pressure gauge start to rise and then rapidly return to zero as I acceleration from maybe 10 to 20 mph! Not something you want to see. Happened many times and was much easier to do if I was on an incline of course. No windage tray either. I got by with running 20-50 oil and ALWAYS having a quart over (maybe even a little more) in the pan. Eventually I replaced the rod bearings, installed a baffled pan and a tray. STILL had to overfill the pan by a quart though.
