Oil pressure was fine on the dyno. It wasn't "endurance tested" for a long period. It was ran in then tested in stock form. Then tested with the heads and the last 10 pulls were made with the new cam.

Also, there's no evidence the low oil pressue is related to the cam issue. I feel the low oil pressue is a problem with the pick-up tube (crack or such). Will know for sure today.

Like I said, just part of the "car building experience".. what can ya do?
