Really low oil pressure

[AZTY]

I have noticed the last couple days at if I get on the gas for longer than four or five seconds, then get off, my oil pressure goes down to like 10psi on my aftermarket mechanical boost gauge. The Ty seems to be running the same but the low pressure really scares me. What do I need to check and how?

I have AFPR, Walbro fuel pump, rubber IC lines, johnson water pump for IC, mechanical boost and oil pressure guages, Ultimate #8 chip, Alky injection, 3 inch ATR cat and Magnaflow muffler, ATR battery relocation kit, ATR intake, Optima Battery, black beauties spark plug wires, 700-R4 trany with a 12 inch lock-up TC.

This problem isn't uncommon. I believe it's because the stock bolts that hold the pickup on like to back themselves out, but any other info is helpful...

have you drained your oil and looked at it? this is where i would start.

did you ever figure out the problem i have the same problem?

 

[AZTY]

Yeah, the problem was the bolts on the pickup line were coming loose. So I went and had my oil drained, took off the pan, tightened the bolts, put a new pan gasket on, put it back together, then put new oil with a new filter. I've got great pressure now.

If you don't mind, can you teach me where can I find the pickup line and the bolts???
Or is this a pipe that pickup engine oil from engine oil pan, I guess?


Thanks

Is this a torque problem made possible by bad bolts or bolt threads???
