Have a 235 that is running ok, had head rebuilt due to radiator issues, also new oil pump. Have low oil pressure and engine is now "loud", kind of diesel like. Is there an adjustment to be made or is a rebuild a must. I ask because I have been told both. HELP! Thanks!

What original year/application engine?

Have you adjusted the valves?
Have you tuned the engine: points, plugs, timing, carburetor.
Were adjustments/tuning done per Shop/Owner's Manual - what year manual?

Who told you to do a rebuild?
What is your oil pressure at idle (400-500 RPM)?
What is your oil pressure at 1,000+ RPM?
