we started my motor up and broke it in yesterday but i don't have very much oil pressure at idle... i have plenty when motor is reved but only about 10 at idle... the guage responds well and goes right up when reved... we thought it was a clogged filter so we took it off and there was some metal shavings in it.... yea, uh oh. but we think it might have been straight from the pump... cause there is none at all in the pan...

any thoughts?
