99 problems and a Ford ain't one.

Let’s start with the previous cam situation. What exactly happened there? Bad break in? Did you tear the whole engine down and clean everything out? To me, unless you tore the whole engine down after it wiped out I’d assume it’s going to **** things up. Again, 5 hot idle is a bit of a worry to me, unless you set you bearing clearances loose?
12.5 is a lot more pressure that I’d like to see, I’m sure it’s pushing through the seats. Looks like you’ve got a few things to take care of but I’m sure with the genus’s on here you get it figured out I no time.

Hi Jake. Bearing clearance was spot on. Prior to cam dieing, I had 60psi at idle. Cam was broken in long before it wiped out. It died shortly after I switched to synthetic oil. Don't know if that was the cause, but I am assuming that's why. I do know that after motor warms up at 180* is when oil psi drops to 5 at idle. Thinking maybe wiped cam bearings? The weird thing is motor runs strong for about 10 minutes. Only after warming up does it start acting weird.
