invest in a real oil pressure gauge. fords dont inherantly run low oil press. most fords will run 30lbs at idle and 50-60 at higher rpm the stock gauges are not very acurate. running a motor at low oil press. is ok for a reg. driver but will cause probs. if you race it or run it hard. oh, and the press. drop is caused by the oil getting thinner as the motor gets warm. if you have consistent press. spikes even when motor is hot it could be from the oil pump press. bypass valve. which would basically mean you need a new oil pump.
