question on oil light blinking....maybe bad oil pump?
well i drove my car the other day and she ran fine, no knocks pings or *****... just one thing when i idle down at a stop the oil light blinks for a sec and then turns off. checked the oil level and is good. no leaks. could my pump about to ---- the bed? or could it be a bearing problem? bearings are about 1500 miles old and i did clearence them when installed. the pump is not new and is prolly around 50k-80k on it....any tips would be appreciated.

do you have a really light flywheel? when i put my 7lb flywheel on when id let the rpms drop from cruising it would kinda dip low like past normal idle rpm. if it goes low enough it could make your light blink on. kinda like he is saying^

did you put in like 5w-50 oil or something?
that thick on stock bearing clearences that can cause problems when the oil is warmed up.
is your oil level where it is suppose to be?
