Think I found my oil preassure problem
I pulled my valve cover today, to find the problem w/ oil preassure, well, didn't get what I expected. 1 of the cups on the rockers that hold the pushrods snapped off, and beat the pushrod flat on top, so it's probably leaking from there, as the rockers restrict the oil. everything is getting oil up top, makes me think the problem inlies there. gotta change the oil, to rid the filings, maby even fish out the broken peice. If Classic inlines can't get me the individual part I need, I'll have to go back to a stock rocker shaft, until I can get money for a new set of rockers. as the rockers are not sold in the US widely ( 1 company imports, that's classic inlines ) it may come to that.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
