If not - any guesses on what is going on with the oil pressure.
------------------------
Your crank journals are a little egg shaped and once the oil heats up
and thins out, your pressure drops... I had a 1098 engine that did the
exact same thing  but dropped to about 5 lbs of pressure when it got
good and hot. Ran like a scalded ape but that pressure reading always
freaked me out!

Turn the crank and fit the appropriate sized bearings and it will be
fixed. Or, put a thicker oil in it and run it until it blows or you
get used to seeing the needle so low...
