yeah, i was hoping not to hear the main/rod bearings thing, haha...i can do the work and have to the tools, i've done this to other vehicles..it really isn't too hard...just time consuming and don't feel like pulling the motor...hopefully i'll get to checking the wire tonight, although with my luck, i'm doubting that is it...

It should be 1.5 to 1.8 bar for pressure

so i replaced the main and rod bearings yesterday...and she ran just fine for once...i hooked up a mechanical gauge this morning just to see what the pressure was...on a cold start, the pressure was right around 55psi, but quickly dropped as it warmed up and settled right under 30psi..actually got to drive it around today and have some fun...i love this car...thanks guys
