Oil Pressure

John CzarneckiMember

Oil pressure problem on a 351 Cleveland engine. Oil pressure was running 25 lbs at idle to 70 lbs running. Now it's running 10 lbs at idle to 50 pounds running. Oil level is okay. I replaced the oil pressure sending unit and now the reading is 120 lbs (pegged)???. I replaced the sending unit with a manual gauge on the engine block and verified 10 lbs at idle, 50 lbs at running. I suspect the oil pump failure but, before replacing the pump I'm asking if there is anything else I should check.
