Re: Oil pump questions
Check to see if there are any marks on the oil pump that have jam
the pump's pressure bypass open, this the main reason why there are not
many stock 304 left out there. Cause when part of the right side bump
stop has broke off and differential come up and smacked the pump,
requiring a new timing chain cover:

The gauge I have now is a mechanical one with the high-pressure oil line
running from the "sender" to the gauge. It is a cheap gauge so I suppose
the gauge itself could be bad.
