ok here it goes after tearing down the engine.We started to look at all the bearings and oil pump in the engine.The engine had 229,000 miles on it and the cam thrust bearing had lost its nickel plating on the side of the bearing.I know this is normal if the engine ran hot ,but would the other bearing show the same wear? if anyone wants to look at the bearing I can show them pics of it.On the back of the bearing it has numbers 06-87 9086 part number 021101521 what I want to know why is this bearing baked on the sides ? also for the oil light blinkers out there rebuild your engine! I was major wear in the oil pump and in the bearings so if your oil light still blinks after you change the oil sending units ,Rebuild the darn thing not unless you have a real good cash flow for your pockets! Darrel 88 blown the hard way! no super charger needed
