I think my rod bearings are gone.
It's not knocking yet but if you are under it while its running it souds like a type writer. my oil pressure gauge hasn't worked since i had it . i changed the sending unit still nothing. when i start it it goes up right above the line barley. check gauge light is on. I guess what im getting at is do you guy's think i could get by with new bearings oil pump and pick up.

I'll double check what's on there now. For oil I'm running Rotella 15w40 it's used in trucks usually. It has a high zinc level to it which really seems to help the solid lifters stay nice and free.
