I've ripped out my motor twice now. 1st time was a full timing chain guide set. The motor ran for a good week then somehow i lost oil pressure. *the oil gauge bounces really fast* and the front drivers timing guide broke again so i ripped it out again and found small pieces of plastic and metal from the guides in some of the oil passages. I changed the oil pump, opened up all the oil ports i could find, pulled out and changed the lifters too while i was at it, and completely blew out all the passages while they where all open. I also added a T connector at the sensor and installed an actual oil pressure gauge to it. Now i have it all back together when the rpms are up a little i am seeing the *dummy* gauge say that it's getting decent amount of oil pressure as it hovers to the mid section *still jumpy though* and i'm seeing a little bit of oil inside the clear tube to the pressure gauge. I've ran it a few times untill i can start seeing smoke and i'll cut it off. I feel like i should be seeing the oil pressure stay up by now without me having to give it gas and that's just not the case. Any other thoughts would be great.
