Actually I didn't see any sort of an explanation of anything. Just a few
malcontents saying that the cam bearings are likely the problem. I've got
34 years of everyday experience repairing engines of all types including
Ford big blocks that says that is likely not the case. The individuals
that say it is are also leaving out the fact that they likely replaced the
rod and main bearings when they replaced the cam bearings. If they
replaced the cam bearings in an engine without first completely
disassembling it for the repair then they're just stupid and don't know a
damn thing about engine repair. So you observe all you want it's no skin
off of my ass. Just because someone rebuilt an engine in their back yard
doesn't mean they know squat about engine proper basic repair and
diagnosis.
Oh and just for the record in 34 years I've seen exactly one set of cam
bearings be the cause of low oil pressure. I live in a bedroom community
where most of the cars have three or four hundred thousand miles on them
before they're replaced and I've put in a lot of engine lower end bearings
to correct oil pressure problems. I stand by what I suggested to the
original poster. He did a ****y assembly job and now after 40K miles it's
come back to bite him in the ass. **** happens.
