Default ?

When my car starts up the oil pressure is at 45 instead of 50(what it usually is) and it runs fine. when it warms up to bout
190 or so the pressure drops below 25(probably around 10-15) and starts knocking. Now you'd think when the oil pres
is thicker it would knock but instead its the other way around which makes no sense am i right? when oil is thinner it travels
easier through everything. When i put the cam back in the motor it went in very easy. But didnt have any play. is there more
than one set of cam bearings for the 5.0's? and could that be a reason behind having low oil pressure? thanks
