Re: OIL PRESSURE 10 psi!!!!
Did you test your cylinder compression ? If so what
numbers are you getting ? Remove the oil cap and look
on it and down in the valve cover for a brown milky looking
foam. Also is the coolant discolored in the radiator ?
You might have a blown head gasket.
Also are you blowing alot of white smoke out the tail pipe ?

Re: OIL PRESSURE 10 psi!!!!
I second that idea... blown head gasket between oil and water jacket... maybe also including one or more cylinder walls. If you replace the gasket now, your engine might be ok and not suffer further damage.
