Change the oil and the filter, clean the pressure relief valve, even remove oil pump and clean pickup and strainer. This is what I was going to recommend.......but you never ring back
new oil and filter

doing the valve next weekend when its not torrential rain !
update when cold it blows out loads and I mean loads of blue smoke for about 10 seconds......then all clear...after injin warms up the oil pressure drops the longer the engine is running ?

rings wouldnt cause low oil pressure and it dont rumble. It sounds like a duff oil pressure valve causing lack of oil to valve guides causing extra wear and oil draining into combustion chambers overnight. However I am not convinced by my own argument. I do think it is more than one fault tho.

i know rings dont rumble daft,:doh: thats why i said main bearings AND rings.oil control rings could have gone causing the smoke and the loss of oil pressure could be worn bearings.

MY BAD - i was talking about bearings not rumbling, just didnt differentiate. The injun sounded like a normal doozil to me when i last heard it, noisy - but not unusually so, hence thats why i dont think it is bearings (yet)

bearings worn would cause a lack of oil pressure especially the hotter the oil gets.had it happen to me once but it was on a mini engine,bearing picked up on the crank but it was not worn,just went round with the crank.
