Re: Oil pressure is really low
What oil are you using in it. If you put a high detergent oil in it the detergent may have loosed up some of the crud in the engine and it may be plugging the pickup screen now.
It might be worth the price of a pan gasket to drop the pan and clean it and the screen on the oil pickup out and then pull a bearing cap or two and see what the bearings look like.
