Re: Oil Pressure and...

I tried the "engine cure in a bottle" (Marvel Mystery Oil) to no avail. I let the engine run at idle for about an hour. The oil pressure (cold) was just under 40 lbs but dropped to just above 20 lbs after a 1/2 hour. The clacking (yes JD it did sound like a threshing machine) never went away. I could not bare to treat the motor that way for too long!
OH well, you can't blame a guy for trying. Time to plasti-guage the bearings. I'm looking forward to seeing whats inside this engine.
I have bought parts from Kanter in the past but it took almost 10 days to get them, (it was just two small seals and a spring) has anyone else experienced slow shipping? Other than that they were very helpful.
