|Subj: Oil pressure in MGB
------------------------------------------------------------------
The oil pressure in my B is a little on the low side for me. So,
since I can't do a real rebuild right now, I decided to change the main
and rod bearings. I finished the rods and haven't started the mains
yet. The rod bearings were worn, with only one having very slight
scoring. I was planning on just doing the three middle sets and not
worry about the two end sets. I know this isn't the right way to do
this. But, I rented a video, "The half-assed approach to increased oil
pressure" and it said it was ok. I'm just trying to get about a year
out of the engine before I rebuild it.
Last night, while brewing and drinking homebrew with Scott Paisley
and Paul Gilders, I was asking if the mains or the rod bearing would be
more responsible for low oil pressure. None of us knew, so I'm asking
the list.
Thanks,
Dean
