Default Re: 305 v6 oil pressure

if you were talking about a wet-sleeve diesel engine, i'd say that you had cut the camshaft bearings out of the engine due to anitfreeze in the oil changing it into a cutting compound. The oil pressure is built on the camshaft bearings in most gasoline engines. the easiest way to find the problem is to drop the oil pan, take a pressurized container with the test lube(50% virgin oil +50% K1 kerosene) and attach the hose to the fitting that you screwed in place of the sending unit and pressurize the canister. with the canister pressurized, look up inside the crankcase of the engine. where you find a spill comparable to Niagra
Falls you will find your leakage in the oil system.
