Hey guys, -please spread your wisdom on this one.
I have my 92 LX 5.0, with CAI, Flowmasters, blue superchip, and a shift kit. When ever I get on it pretty hard, I hear a tapping noise, its not really loud. I have to turn my radio down, and kinda listen to it, but its there. I heard it could be a valve tap, so I tride some of that stuff that you mix in with your oil (Lucas') and it didn't seem to work. On top of that my oil pressure gauge is always low, whenever I am driving at lik 50+ it will go to either the middle or above the middle of the gauge, but If I am just Idling or going like 25 it will be at almost the lowest point of normal. Any ideas as to what I should do or what it could be? If I took it somewhere and got it tuned up would they be able to tell me what my problem is? Thanks in advance for the info!
