Default Re: What is with Rod Bearings dying?

Thats what I think as well. I've seen weak oil pumps putting out about 10 psi, and that worthless stock oil pressure gauge is well worthless. Anyways, I'm waiting for Grooms to get back with me to see if the mods they make to the block do indead fix oiling issues around the bearings. Probably just call them tomorrow. 3SX has my car so they may have a fix to the oiling issues in there own process, since they do a lot of R&D on our platform. Anyways, trying to scope out how to bullet proof that lower end. I just don't want to break the bank on this one, as I'm not able to do my own work at my current location.
