I put some lucas stabilizer in the new 20w50 and its back on the street. Drove it to work today in fact and torched a little punk in an Si Civic. Thats all it took to get 10psi of oil pressure at idle. Under load (approx 2/3 throttle at 3000 rpm it makes 30psi. ) Not fantastic oil pressure but its acceptable.I don't have the time or the money to build a new engine right now so this will suffice until I get some cash set a side for a 331 build or something along those lines. However, whats funny is there was nothing in my oil pointing toward bearings and there is no noises under idle or load and the car runs fantastic. So that makes me think, I'll just run it until it dies and in the mean time prepare a new engine.But Wycleff your right. Who knows whats in the pick up....</blockquote>
