oil pressure disappeared.

The leak was from the timing chain cover. I had to re-degree the camshaft which meant pulling the timing chain cover. I tried to just replace the cover without replacing the oil pan gaskets. Bad Idea. After replacing the gaskets with the windage/gasket combo I did not have any leak for a week. Then I waited a week to use it and then the pressure was gone.


That is exactly what I was thinking in the back of mind!

It was the only time I ever had an issue when swapping from the 284/484 to 292/509 cam in the parking lot of my apartment complex.

That is a messy job to try without totally raising / removing .....and doing it right!
