Either worn oil pump or worn bearings can result in pulsating oil pressure.
Unevenly worn bearings can allow leakage in specific positions during rotati=
on, which will result in pulsating oil pressure, OR
A worn drive gear on the oil pump spindle or camshaft can cause the oil pump=
to pulse. =20
Either condition will require inspection inside of the engine - ugh=E2=80=A6=
