Yeah, I am guessing the cam bearings are the problem. Pressure isn't awful, about 5psi at idle when hot. In he summer I switch to 20W50 to keep pressure up. With all my money going in the transmission swap, I don't have the money to do the motor this year. Not burning any oil yet. I think it will hold up another year, maybe more, before needing a re-build. Not really looking for a racing pump, just improvement over OEM.

I was checking into rear seals and get a lot of conflicting information. Rope or rubber? Silicone or not? Off-set the two halves or line up with the bearing cap? And I thought it would be simple.....

Also, what's the experience with the chrome oil pans? Leaky junk? Any better brands?
