Are you sure you mean fourty-five thousandths, not four and a half thousandths wear on the mains?

I'm still amazed at the differences we see between engines. With very high mileage in a untouched engine my hot idle oil pressure is about 35 psi at the gauge, about 21 at the filter inlet. The car has probably had exceptional care over the years, the first purchaser was already a Packard club member and well-known collector.
