Rich,

Best news all week! Glad to hear you and team WAZOO got it all sorted out for you and Yun with your 380s. What a team you guys have there and I'm so jealous. Take care and best wishes. Man, I wish I could meet you guys at BG again.

Decided to drop the oil pan and found a chewed up oil gallery cup plug from the rear most crank throw laying on the windage tray. Apparently the plugs were not replaced by the machine shop (I should have checked them) and between the crank grinding and heat treating, the plugs had lost all their tension. Spent last weekend replacing ALL my crank plugs and I now have normal oil pressure again, thank GOD! As they say, assumpton is the mother of all F'kup's, BIG lession learned for me. Luckly, no damage incurred and I am now ready for BG!!

Yes, used Loctite 620. Jerry's plugs had a bit more contact area on the side wall of the plug. Much better than the stock plug, drove in nice and tight.
