Losing Oil Pressure

Good to hear you found the problem.

Was the whole rod turned or just the cap on the rod? Main caps and rod caps are bored and honed in position (at torque value) and must be maintained in the orientation. So, it's hard to turn just a cap and get it to fit!

Oh, and great job of the fix!!!!! That is persistence.

Tom:
That's great news / It must make you happy that you did not ignore it and keep driving it. That end would not have turned out as well >>>

Wow - all of you guys losing sleep over my problem - I am touched! As for the rod cap the rod was in correctly, just the cap was reversed. Chuck (41Ford1) - I was just angling to see if I could get you to stop by on the way to the Bash - - and I do thank you for listening and speaking to me about the problem. We conversed about it several times and Chuck actually called me today to see how we were doing. All I know is I got home just before the rain and snow hit us here (open engine compartment presently - no hood - not good!) and once I was in the door all the adrenalin left me and I was (and still am) pooped! Both John and I slept little last night but it was nice to know we were all having similar flathead nightmares!

Thanks again everyone - I really appreciate it. All of your suggestions we checked/tried - we are now experts at dropping the pan of my roadster. I think we cut a lot of time off the process with all the practice we had!
