Straight to it.... When I start my 87 LX in the morning, it stays around 60-65lbs@1100RPM. After it is warmed up a bit, it goes down to about 40lbs@1100... It's been like THAT since I got it, but just yesterday, I took it up a hill and drove it fairly hard and noticed it went down to 20lbs@ 3000rpm, and about 9-10lbs@Idle!!!!!
Right when I noticed it, I checked my oil and found that it was almost a quart low, and I just happened to have a quart handy and filled it up... Still had low oil pressure...
I have an aftermarket gauge in the stock idiot light position, but that isn't leaking and had consistant flow to my gauge. I also replaced my vavle cover, but didn't put sealer around the gasket and it is now leaking slightly (I'll fix that today...)
Today, I started it up this morning and had about 50lbs all the way to 210 degrees, then picked my brother up and went for a pretty long drive. After a good 30 minutes and some regular driving, it was at 20lbs again (I didn't watch it go down) and my temp gauge was at at around 212 degrees.
