Re: oil pressure
There is a little known thing that can cause a problem with oil level in the valve chamber.
If you look at the "dam" ahead of the oil tube, where splash over lubes the timing gear, you will likely find it eroded down into a rounded looking shape. Ford blueprints show this dam is supposed to be straight across the front ahead of the oil tube. Too low and too much oil will splash over and starve the lifters and main bearings.
