^ WHAT?

The serious solution here is to remove the oil pump, and shim the relief valve ~6mm. That'll net you some pressure along with a remote filter bypass, doing away with the GTE oil filter mount, and an inline oil cooler thermostatically controlled. Those combined should get you some real oil pressure.

you don't know what burning oil is. Thats the way my 89 N/A was at first. Sometimes the pressure is good and sometimes there was no pressure at all. Let my sister borrow it for a week and boom bye bye engine. Just finished dropping a gte in today. damn its hot out.
