I am getting less than 5 lbs at any time. The sump on mine looks like it
was repaired with JB Weld. Yuck! I have another sump coming. Plus, I intend
on trying a different pressure gauge just to make sure. The pump looked
okay but you never know. Once I forgot a plug for an oil galley on a CJ
motor. Acted the same way as this. The motor had received a shade tree
rebuild before I got it.

Gotta love those people who don't care about details! :)
