That and a light that can be seen will save it.

: Thanks for the compliments on the pump.
:
: You are correct, the mains were between
: 0.002" and 0.003" while the
: rod ends were all consistent at
: 0.0015". I wish I had used my
: telescoping gauges to get my own
: measurement on the cam bores (at least
: those I could reach) instead of relying
: on the machinist telling me "they
: are OK". I could feel vertical
: movement in the cam and suspect that is
: where the lion's share of the oil
: pressure is bleeding off.
:
: A friend reminded me of something to do
: for peace of mind... install a
: different oil pressure switch. This is
: my son's car and I don't want him
: watching the oil pressure gauge while
: driving and the idea of a switch set
: for 10 to 15 PSI sounds like a good way
: to draw his attention to problems
: should they occur.
:
: Now it's time to turn my attention to
: other areas like the loud rear end I
: noticed on my break-in drives.
:
: Thanks again for all the help.

: It sounds like it isn't as
: "lazy" as before, which is
: good.
: I didn't look through the old posts but
: I seem to recall your crank clearances
: @ .003ish on the mains? Beyond that is
: a considerable bleed @ low rpm, coupled
: with suspect bleed around cam journals,
: it may just be all that thing will make
: at low speed.
: I wouldn't be concerned at all unless
: something changes, nice job on that
: pump!
