I am changing the break in oil on my freshly rebuilt bj8 and when I removed the spin on oil filter there was no oil in it nor has there ever been any in it. There is oil being pumped to the upper part of the engine because the valve cover gasket has leaks and there is oil all over the valve stems and rockers. Also the fact that the valves have not seized after 200 miles makes me think that the oil pump is working. My oil pressure starts out at around 50 PSI when cold and drops to around 20-25 while driving and just below 20 at idle when hot. What could be some things that could cause this? The spin on adapter is a little over a year old and the filter is a UNIPART #GFE-22, if that helps with a diagnosis.
