Re: Project Mr. Green Jeans (now 5.3 LS turbo build!)
Well, I'm so glad I didn't try to take the truck on Power Tour now. I'm having a low oil pressure at idle issue when warm. Even driving down the slower areas of the interstate seems to drop pressure and start to knock and/or tick. Pop it into neutral and a few revs and it's fine again for a while. This blows. I'm hoping/thinking it's the oil pump bypass or the o-ring on the pickup tube and not the plastic barbell near the rear of the engine. Time will tell. New high pressure pump ordered today and should be here next week. Feeling lame. I think I'll order a few Mustang parts to help me feel better.
