Normally the rod bearings will not produce that kind of oilpressure
situation. It is the mains and/or the pump assembly that will do that
to you. If a rod (s) bearing were that bad, it would be knocking badly,
but a main can be bad and still run rather acceptably. Unless the
engine is just plain worn out, I would be looking at the pump assembly.
Take care, Bill
