I'm aware it has low oil pressure, but FYI it is not a built motor. It's a bone stock engine I found in the junkyard that probably has 300k miles on it. It only has low oil pressure at idle and low rpm, cruising it's fine. Plus it's had the same amount of oil pressure now for 4 years and almost 50k miles, so I'm not really too worried. it doesn't use a drop of oil yet either. Some day i will rebuild it for some more performance, when i have the money.
Im not dissing your olds bud. But you have low oil pressure for a built motor my 355 idles around 50-60, when u rev it around 70 or so. I have a 7 qt moroso oil pan with a melling pump.
No it's not really bad at all. I have to try to make the back end slide out on a corner in the rain. It's not good at pulling away from a stop quick on wet pavement though.

Also, just checked out yours, really nice car, and glad you stayed with an Olds under the hood. Some day I hope mine will be done nice like that.

Does your cutlass slide easy as hell in the rain? Mine does and I have the v6 with the 3 speed transmission. Mines an 85.

@ilshwak I have the same problem(not really a problem to me) Makes people think I have way more under the hood.
