I've been told that excessive (sorry, I don't know how much is excessive)
side clearance on the rod big ends can cause low idling oil pressure

I've believe that excessive (sorry, I don't know how much is excessive) side
clearance on the rod big ends can cause low idling oil pressure also.  10#
at idle is probably ok but I would be concerned if it drops further.  -Bob
