Having problems with dear Olga

She lost power and oilpressure seemed low
Changed oilpressure sender to be sure it is correct

Oilpressure 45psi cold falling to 15psi hot and lower cruising does not pickup with accelerating

Vacuum 23 psi idle

It seems she pulls better at startup losing power as oil heats up
loosing pressure at valves? getting noisy at valve train rear

Obvious to change oilpump, just hoping to avoid pulling tranny

Will take of old oilcooler hoses ( maybe expanding at pressure?)
Just run it without oilcooler for a bit
