Re: [Amc-list] oil pressure drop question

Open the hood and see if you have an orange oil filter on your motor. If so, that's the probable source of the low pressure.

Any comments on this issue? I was traveling at about 70 mph today on the freeway in my 390 AMX. The car had already been driven about 15 miles. Suddenly, i heard some lifter noise and the oil pressure dropped to about 20-30 for a few seconds, then returned to normal (about 70).  This has never happened before. The motor was completely overhauled about 3,000 miles ago, but the oil pump wasn't replaced.  Did the motor incur any damage? Should I replace the oil pump or other components?
 
Thanks for your input.
 
Steve
