HEy guys,

so I have a 94 Silverado with a 383 stroker in it. ive had it for a couple months now. Runs great, but if I'm crawling in 1st gear, no throttle, no brake, my engine lugs and then ramps up again. the only real thing I'm noticing is the oil pressure gauge has a lot of rise and fall. it only gets up to about 25 or 30, and then it will drop to nothing. my dash keeps flashing "check gauges".

I'm really hoping that I don't have compression problems, which, I don't think I do considering how well the pickup does run. it has GOBS of power.

it has the 4:10 rearend, and vortec heads with roller rocker cams (I don't know if that helps at all)

last month I had it in the shop for some maintenance. it was timed, and the fuel pressure was brought down. before it was running about 40 psi. now its down to 24 psi, but cant go any further with out modifying the throttlebody. The mechanic said that fuel had actually pushed past the rings and got into the oil.

Any suggestions? is this a major problem to get taken care of right away? is it ok to drive? Let me know what you think!
