Here's my delima... I just got done rebuilding the engine in my Nova and drove it to work today for the first time. It runs good. Oil pressure: It has around 60lbs at startup.. after warm it carries around 40-45lbs all the time (while driving) but when I come to a stop and it idles in gear it quickly drops to 10lbs or less.. if I hold it at around 1100rpm it'll hold around 20lbs but soon as I let it go back to idle it drops back down. ... what is WRONG????

and how long can I expect this engine to last doing this???

I'm out of money AND patience with this thing...
