Mount an auxiliary mechanical gauge at the front of the driver-side head by T-ing into the line that goes to the oil filter. That is easy to do and easy to monitor with the hood up. That is the lowest pressure in the system.

Craig - great advice, all too infrequently mentioned and used as a diagnostic on V8 oiling issues.


Dave,

Even though I am a co-developer of the Olds HV oil pump adapter kit and former producer of same AND I am a certified engineer and have been involved with high performance cars for many years, I AM the kind of engineer who says, "find out what's wrong first."

Sometimes, the stock V-8 oil pump (rebuilt or not, repaired or not) is OK...at least for a while.
