I recently did a cam swap, along with Port and Polish job on heads, intake manifolds and throttle body. Now my oil pressure keeps dropping. When i start it, my car only runs at about 40 PSIs at idle, but as soon as it starts warming up, it drops into the low 30s or 20s or today evern lower. I had to kill my engine today and let my car coast to a stop because i was afraid it had dropped to low. I went to check my oil and my oil, dipstick tube came completely out of its socket too, and wont fit snug, back in its whole. I'm not sure if thats the case, it shouldnt be, because out cars have mechanical pumps, but im not sure. Anyone had this problem after a cam install??

 

ok what cam did you put in? specs

chances are your idle is just lower...rule of thumb 10 psi per 1k rpm or better and your fine

i just put in my cam and at idle after warm up my pressure is a 20 psi not bad
