Oil Pressure

Just out of curiosity why do the 351M and 400 have a problem with low oil pressure? I've heard a few times that it is the mains that wear, and cause the drop in pressure (especially after warm up).

Why do these mains wear faster than say a 302?

Just a question...

Thanks

Riley,

Check out the article in the tech section on this site about the history and building tips for the 351M/400 engines. It will probably answer all of your questions about these motors. Enjoy

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 19-Dec-01 AT 10:13 PM (EST)]Hey, thanks for the reply.

I've read that article a couple of times, but I don't think it answers my question about why they wear more often. It is an awesome write up though eh??
