Oh yes, it's been shown that fully grooving will disrupt laminar flow and
produce a significant drop in oil pressure at idle. A work around for the
"full groove" scenario is to tune your radio to a classical station. The
soothing harmonics should negate the full groove drop in OP at idle.
Hope this helps. ;o

I was thinking about using full groove bearings on my next muffler instead
of just a groove in the top halves. Do you think my exhaust system will
lose oil pressure at idle???
