It was determined from my other post the oil pump is a Melling 45.
Mine has 6 thousands or so of space between the oil pump gears. Would that much space cause the engine to have low running oil pressure ( Hot engine ) ?
The engine is out of the truck and I think this might be a good time to address any potential issues.
Thanks in advance. Michael...
