Guys, It ended being a spun bearing. I dont know how it happended, right after a fresh rebuild. A friend of mine said that they had given me the wrong rod bearings. The pressure is up to 60 psi cold and now the pressure when hot is at about 35 psi. Does this sound about right. I have noticed that the oil pressure goes down every day. It seems though like it has stopped at 35 psi and it has bottomed up there. Keep in mind this is the second rebuild. Any ideas on why else the pressure is lower. I am used to having 40 psi at idle after rebuilding an engine. This is my first rebuild where its lower. The bearing clearences where within specs when I plastigaged.
