Hmm - ok - why would a spun bearing cause low or non-existant oil
pressure? When I bought Christine she had at least one bad bearing.. and
no oil pressure. I assumed the oil pressure caused the bearings to fail.

Anything to do with the tolerances? Bearing is show - larger gap
between crank journal/bearings resulting in lowered oil pressure?
