About 4000k miles before I replaced cam and lifters I had an issue where oil pressure would start at around 50 psi hot running down the road at 60mph and 30 idle was normal it started dropping down a little at a time until it was 28 hot at 60 mph and 20 idle changed sending unit and oil on same day came back up to normal then at around 1000k miles on new oil started dropping again so at 1500 miles I changed again oil pressures came back to normal 50 and 30 but it’s still doing this every time I change oil at around 1000 to 1300 miles starts going lower couple lbs every day any had this issue? When cam went bad I assumed it was getting gas in oil from engine miss but now that’s all fixed and seems to still be doing the granule drop
