34 is babbitt mains. So there could be shims to remove.
To me the oil pressure doesn't sound bad, 0 is bad, pretty normalish on a regular old engine. We tend to over do things. But It wouldn't effect cylinder pressure, which is a bit low. You could remove the pan and clean the pickup screen and/or at the same time change out the oil pump spring. Off hand I wouldn't be to worried about the oil pressure. They all leak a little oil. or not... depends on whom you ask. If power is good, run it. . Last edited by Tinker; 05-17-2019 at 10:54 PM. |

Shims on the mains and no shims on the rods.

Probably not from the factory, but I had a '35 21 stud flathead V8 engine rebuilt by Schwalms in Strasburg, Pa., and he used shims on the mains. I found them in place when I had to remove the oil pan for an unrelated problem.
This engine now has over 35k miles since rebuild, so I see no problems related to these shims.
