My TR4 oil pressure is running quite close to what you describe
here. I have heard several times now how easy it is to replace these
bearings. Never having done it, I assume that means that the
engine does not have to be removed, and that one just gets at
the bearings via the removed oil pan.
Is that right? Could someone describe the process in better
detail, or maybe point to a good reference?
Thanks,
