Well it has been a month since I last posted. The 3000 mile trip across the country is over and we are settled here in Pensacola, FL. But that did not come without engine problems. I know I burned up my valve guides. There is a little smoke coming out my breather on the valve covers. I think that either my oil pump is going bad or I have worn rod bearings. Oil pressure is fine while I am driveng but when I slow down at a stop light, oil pressure drops. I know some of you have had this problem before, what was you cause? Any pointers would be great.
Thanks,
Mario
