[AT] oil pressure

[Richard Fink Sr]

I had any other experience with it that amazed me. I was rebuilding a 
ford 391 engine and always  wipe bearing surface with it. When i put 
that engine together it was with a rebuild oil pump and could not get 
any oil pressure it was run about 15 minutes different times trying 
to get the pump working. No luck got a new one from ford and problem 
fixed, I think that film saved the lower end did not have and other 
problems with it.
Just my 02$ worth
Good luck don't think it will help oil pressure but will cut down ware.
I have a ford custom van 1986 with 200 thousand on it and it still 
has good oil pressure.
But you know what they say For Old Retired Drivers
