[QUOTE="Tiha, post: 1046302, member: 77725"] Melling 328 ho oil pump. Now melling 128. Keep in mind it also did this with the oem pump. Oil filter was O'Reilly's cheap one This one is a carquest brand. Still cheap. I removed the oil pressure sender and put a T in there, adding the mechanical gauge. I am thinking it is cam clearances, meaning heads are shot or maybe balance shaft. Would a hydraulic tensioner do that? When it gets hot. Start knocking? But I don't think they take enough oil to drop pressure to nothing. I find people all over the internet complaining of same thing but nobody fixes it. Or comes back and responds. I am on the fence, selling as is or fixing. I can't work on this thing forever. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
