The man said he purchased a used cobra with a rebuilt 390--who rebuilt it , when, how thoroughly, and how much use after that????
IF I HAVE AN ENGINE WITH LOW
OIL PRESSURE AND I TAKE THE PAN OFF I WILL CHECK THE BEARINGS!!!!!
The FE engine family have the same needs as all other engines--too much side clearance is not a problem unless the rod bearing has too much clearance--the rod bearing clearance controls the
oil flow, not the side clearance--if the mains have too much clearance the rods won't get the
oil to begin with and if they are too big the problem gets bigger
Cam bearings more of the same--
There is no need for high volume/high pressure pumps in the fe engine--if things aren't right they ain't right--fix the problem not the symthom
