I would post your question in the Tech and Performance section where you will get a better response. Just a suggestion.

I would also say, based on your fellow Floridian who had issues with his engine rebuild, you make sure this is a great, great reputation company that's going to do the work. To my knowledge, the original poster of that thread didn't want to impugn the rep, so far, of a forum vendor and asked to have the thread removed!

oil pressure means very little, it's volume that counts, and before you engineers chime in, a modern 12 liter diesel runs about 30 psi all the time idle or wide open, less pressure, less leaks
