    i think the mains and rods are at .002 or .003, but .003 sounds more familiar. I don't remember which. I will try running a straight 40 weight oil. Oil is cheap, bearings are not. I don't drive em hard cold so it should not be an issue. I will post up the results later today.

    A defective oil filter can play games with oil pressure. They're relatively cheap, and easy to change. Try another brand.
