bmw 320i oil pressure
I have a 1978 bmw 320i that sat for a year and the oil pressure won't go above 6 or 7 pounds even when revved. The gauge and sending unit have all checked out so next I pulled the pan to check the p/u screen, and to check the clearances on the oil pump. all were ok. bypass spring was also the correct length and was not sticking. I pulled a main brg cap and the bearing had very little wear on it. I'm stumped, I know there is oil getting to the top end because you can see it splashing around with the cap off. any ideas?

Another possibility is that your oil is diluted with gasoline.
