Re: Wiped Cam And Low Oil Pressure
If you wiped the cam out, metal most likely went throughout the entire engine. At a minimum I'd pull the motor and remove the oil pan for inspection. You may have wiped out some bearings as well, leading to the lower oil pressure.

Re: Wiped Cam And Low Oil Pressure
The old motor was lossing power and thats one reason i got the new short block, But now the short block is doing the same thing as the old motor, That was the first time i ran the new motor really hard and it just didnt have the power but it was idleing great, last night i changed the oil and couldnt find no metel shavings. But the funny thing is the oil psi. went all the way around past a 100psi it has never done that so i let it warm up and it was holding 40 psi at idle, Thanks Ronnie
