Hello all, when I got my Comanche back on the road back in march and put ~20 miles on it before putting new oil in it. After that change, the oil pressure drops to less than 20 when warm. It has very little response to throttle and it makes a ticking (most likely valve/lifter) it has 60psi upon cold start and doesn’t tick when cold. Engine only has 126K on it. It doesn’t smoke and doesn’t have any other noises except for maybe one small exhaust leak and a EGR quack. I do not have a mechanical gauge to test actual oil pressure, and I can drop the oil pan if need be on a lift.
in the video, most of the noise is from the countershaft bearing in the BA10/5. I’m eventually going to put an AX-15 in, I just haven’t got there yet, and thus, the noise persists.
