What does this have to do with his ride?
Are you here to sell something? Like an overhaul?

trying to save him money you try to misslead him and cost him more money i have a machine shop close to him and i'll help him all he wants for free but if he needs someone to do the work the price is what it should cost he can get the work done where ever he likes the are alot a people who would scam him if he doesn't know whats going on. if you want to help give him advice that is sound and not hogwash.

Get over yourself dude. Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion here. I ain't on here telling him you are full of "hogwash" now am I? Why in the hell would I be trying to mislead him? What do I have to gain from it? Not a thing is what.

The car I was referring to I bought from a relative. When you started it the idle was at about 2500rpms. So eventually that was the demise of the engine I assume. Probably not good to rev that high when first started. I was broke, just got married, and on my way from Texas to Cleveland. Got to Tenn and had a rod knocking, had no money so all I could afford was the rod bearings. Had I the money I would have done mains also, I am positive they were as bad as the rods. Nothing was done wrong, nothing done twice. Car ran the same a few years later, and I sold it as is. Rattling mains and all.

been building engines for 25 years never seen worn mains do that

THAT JUST TELLS ME YOU ANT SEEN EVERYTHING THEN. old 235 and 261 chev. was good for that. when you step on the gas it causes the crank to move to one side and that causes more of a leak by the bearings. i wont telling him to do anything, just where he is loosing his oil pressure.

i'm not the one knocking what others say but a V8 oils differnt fon a six the fist thing to get oil pressure on a chevy is the oil gage. if we where refering to an old six my comments would have been different in 25 years i've seen alot people will but a new oil pump in and leave the screen loose sucks air oil drops. for his oil pressure to do what he is saying it does he would have more than a soft knock. I have seen bearing totally gone hand the engine still have normal oil pressure you sa can't happen bearin gaulds and fill oil hole in crank no pressure loss. I know what i'm talking about and i offered my help but i'm the new guy here and you geriatric members only want to slam me I don't care i'll go somewhere else.

I'm not old and I would not have even posted anymore, till you started on me. If you can give yours I can give mine. That don't mean run off, just back off. CHR could use the input of a machinist.That's all I have to say.

Sounds like mains to me. The knock might be a lifter, unless it's coming from under the engine. You can replace your main bearings alone, but that is not a good idea. I replaced rod bearings and a couple weeks later the mains starting knocking. I would take it and get an opinion from a mechanic or two. Machine shop here is about $600 to do a long block, if you do the rest yourself.(ex. pull it,strip it, put all back together)
When you find out remember to come back to CHR and let us know what you found.

Now big489 what part of my post was about you. Except the price difference from the machine shop. You might do more than what this one here did. Then again it is another state. Things up there are a little higher than down here.
When you make over 100 posts you get the senoir status.

Maaaaaaaybe, just maybe, he hasnt seen the scenario. Anything is possible. But as for the 6 and 8 oiling different, No. Especially when you consider most V6s are built based on prior V8 blocks. Unless there is a massive difference between a oil pump for a 6 pulling oil from the crankcase and moving towards the top of the motor and an 8 doing the same thing, Im missing something. As for the motor in question, did anyone suggest doing a running compression test? Seems to me that would tell if it was a rod bearing doing the warping and causing a drop in pressure
