Ok so a little update. I dropped the pan enough to inspect the pickup tube o-ring, and it did have a slight pinch in it. I put a replacement in extremely carefully, and after getting everything back together, I still have oil pressure issues. I don't get it. It idles at 17-20 psi and jumps up to 45 when I touch the gas. I took it out for a quick test ride, and the pressure is fine as long as my foot is on the gas. When I come to a stop, it dipped to almost 10 psi, bogged, and the Check Gauges light came on. I'm going to end up tearing the motor apart again. What should I look for?
