Today, I noticed my oil pressure has changed! The engine was starting at 60+ pounds cold then settling down to about 40. Would go to 15-20lbs hot. Now it's starting at about 20lbs and goes down to 5-8lbs hot. No rattles or noises, the pickup and tube were cleaned before installing. I'm hoping that a piece of trash got up in the oil system OR perhaps the bypass valve in the oil filter is stuck open. Any Ideas on this? Chuck in NH

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.
