still sounds exactly like my problem.........you should be OK if you get 10psi per 1000rpms.....10 at idle, 20 at 2000....etc.......if you lunched a main you should be able to see metal in the oil filter.....cut the top off and pull out the filter material and look in the pleats....no metal you should be OK provided you have the 10 psi per 1000 rpms.........John
