Oil pressure is one of those things that confounds me. What on earth could cause this? What actually goes wrong when someone says “yeah that engine doesn’t have oil pressure”? If there’s no pressure, it’s just a bad pump, right? Replace the pump and everything should be dandy again, but I always see people just buying a new engine if they have oil pressure issues.

If the crankshaft journals or bearings are worn badly enough it’ll drop the oil pressure significantly, particularly when hot. In some cases means it’s cheaper to source a new engine than rebuild the worn one.
