Hi Gang,

I'm about to acquire (well, maybe)a '70 or so PW that has had a 360 put into it and has been sitting for 10+ years.

The guy that has it put the 360 into it a while back, and then sold it to someone else. The new buyer gave him the truck back eventually, and a problem it had was that the engine would lose oil pressure when hot, when it was cold, it was fine. He was using 20w50 oil at the time, too. He knew it was losing pressure because the light would come on and the lifters would make noise, but no rod knocks or anything like that.

Any suggestions would certainly be appreciated!

Thanks,

vince
