foward to in the future. I don't think the oil pickup tube is bent, because my oil pressure is good at idle, and all throughout the rpm's. It is only after I do a hard run(7800rpm,13psi) my oil pressure drops to zero for a few seconds. So I am assuming the pan is bent in a way that after the oil pickup sucks up 3 and 1/4 quarts of oil, the bend in the oil pan does not let the pick up suck the remaining 1/2 quart of oil, giving me 0 psi until more oil travels back into the oil pan. Do you have any idea exactly how many MM from the oil pan the oil pickup sits?
