Low oil pressure Recently noticed my oil pressure getting lower. Seem 20-25 Cold. It will hit 60 cold under high revs.
when it gets hot its like 5-10 psi.
been like this for a few weeks
ive replaced the oil pick up o ring, oil pump, pressure switch and aftermarket gauge.
whats next? Where does the oil go between the pump and pressure switch?

Since you already replaced the usual suspects, unfortunately that usually means things like worn cam bearings, rod and main bearings.
Sometimes the cam retainer gasket, or the (early design) barbell can bleed off pressure too.

the cam plate gasket on my engine was basically gone when I tore it down......so I think for the price of a new plate its beats a rebuild anyday
a new oil pump would not hurt either....
