What's your *hot* oil pressure at idle look like? If it's ok, but
perhaps a little low, I would suggest replacing the big-end connecting
rod bearings while you have the sump off. I'd also go for the mains,
if you can get to all of them (not sure on a spit), and perhaps the
oil pump *if* the pressure is low. If not, leave the pump alone!
At a minimum, replace the rings on #3, and the big-end bearings. Just
my .02 worth.
