I have removed the engine from my 61 Lark Wagon. It had a noise that was diagnosed as a cracked piston skirt or piston possibly hitting head. When the bearing caps were removed the bearings were worn bad. The engine was rebuilt by a reputable Studebaker shop 20000 miles ago. The oil pressure was always low, 20 on the highway, less than 10 idling. I will have the crank turned .0001, it has been turned once according to the numbers on the bearings. My question is what can I do when reassembling to try to ensure increased oil pressure as I think the bearings did not receive enough oil.
Thanks for any responses.
