[QUOTE="K@rlos, post: 621435, member: 4304"] If the heads were loose that’s not going to do it any favours. While they’re off, Check the valves aren’t leaking, re lap the barrels to the heads and fit, torquing the heads accordingly then do a compression test. What’s the spec of the engine? A mild 1776 should be making at least 90 horsepower with stock sized valves. Personally I’d be looking into the oil pressure issues, check plungers, is it idling at the right speed? get a mechanical gauge and put it in the pressure switch port to see it where it’s at.
