My son's '89 Bronco II had a new 2.9 crate engine put in 5 years ago. He took it to college and put on about 50K. It developed the following problem: oil pressure is fine at idle. As soon as you put in in gear the pressure drops to almost 0. He took it to a mechanic who told him it was the bearings. This is the same mechanic who charged him $250 for new plugs and wires. Needless to say, I don't particularly trust the guy.
Wanting to get 2nd opinions from some of you guys before he junks the pony as not being worth repairing.
Thanks!
