well, if it knocks the only way to fix that is to replace what is knocking. AKA rebuild the motor. You have low oil pressure because there is enough clearence to knock. The pressure switch just tell you your oil pressure. Your oil pump isn't the issue.

1995 Silverado with 5.7 engine. It shows 50 pounds of oil pressure with no oil coming from the push rods. After about 5 minutes the oil begins to seep out. After about 10 minutes oil is oozing from all push rods but does not squirt out. I've seen chevy engines squirt the oil all over the engine bay. Is this a change made for adjusting the valves without using rags to stop the squirting oil? 2 Answers
