Re: [Classic Mustang] Indications of a bad pressure release valve

The pump itself may be worn. Back when old Mustangs were a common sight I used to replace timing chains which had slipped on a regular basis. Whenever I saw a top gear which was almost worn smooth I would tell the owner to replace the oil pump because it was a matter of time before the pressure would become low. Tiny particles of nylon make their way past the pickup screen and cause the gears to wear. As Phils2888 mentioned, it could be bad bearings, I ran into that in my own car last year, but if you're sure the bearings are good then low pressure is very likely a worn pump. Even if you never had a timing gear issue sometimes it just happens.
