I don’t have a formal diagnosis of what’s wrong.
No more instances of low oil pressure since I installed the pressure gauge but I also bumped up the idle. At idle, I’m now at about 18 psi. At 1500 rpm and 60 mph, I’m at 30 psi.
I’m not sure when I will install the engine. I’m thinking I will wait till cooler weather, but I’m also thinking of driving it until something happens. That said, there’s $1000 core charge and if I drive it until the engine blows up, I don’t want to risk losing that $1000.
