LT1 knocking after it warms up?

Took in my 95 z28 .. shop owner says its a main bearing.. warms up and then starts ticking..& loses oil pressure.. 94000 miles..2nd owner w/regular maintenance.. extended warranty isnt gonna help me! Do i have to get it rebuilt? or a new engine? I dont have the shop or the time to do this! Any suggestions? Thanks, Greg

PS> Great Site.. & i am glad to be here as this is my first post!

Could be the drive gear that drives the oil pump is known for failing exsp if you have a hv pump installed if you hear ticking from the topend its the low oil pressure that is causing it if you hear a rod ar main knock then its time for a rebuild ...
