How can i effectively get a basic idea of my rod bearing condition? I have an na with a lot of miles and im not too sure how great the bearings and such are, im afraid to drive it long distances because i dont want to be stranded. On cold start i have about 60-70 psi of oil pressure with 10w30 dino oil. After fully warmed up its usually about 50-60 psi at 3k rpms. Im not sure how much this shows about the engine condition but it seems like the oil pressure is good. I will be removing the oil
