Pressure after new oil pump! Engine pics also
Hey everyone,
Just dropped the pan yesterday and replaced the oil pump, screen, and gasket. I now have pressure at idle! There are some shots below and some interior engine shots? Does the engine still look healthy? Currently at 120K and runs great.

Yes, that was at idle after driving for about a half hour. Normal driving it stays around 40 when warmed up.

Well, that's better than it was. 
But, indicates that the bearing clearances are getting pretty wide. Going to be time for a rebuild in the not real distant future. Of course, it may run like that for another decade too.
