Correction, the 216 in my 3100 is a 49 not 48, must have been a combination brain and finger phart LOL.
Fred, In thinking more on your oil pressure situation, I'm being drawn to the R&R of the oil distributor. The TSM shows it broke down pretty good. When you've pulled the engine and disassembling it, pay attention to how it's assembled. IIRC it's primary job is to limit oil pressure to the top end until sufficient oil pressure is flowing to the mains. Did you replace this due to the pressure situation you're now experiencing?
One other thought, Are you running a by-pass filter? I am and have often thought about taking it out to see if I can gain alittle more oil pressure.
Good luck
Dave
