Won't get a post-mortem until I get the swap. Probably in a few weeks. My mechanic is pretty busy right now and can't get to it right away.

The FA20 still has oil starve issues. I'd be a lot more concerned if I was boosted but I have seen low enough numbers that it is concerning though I haven't lost an engine to it yet.

fa20 has oiling issues. Some basic mods people do are killerB oil pickup and baffled oil pan. Who knows if it helps.
There was a guy from peru that posted some data showing the killerB pick up likely helps.

I saw a negligible difference with a baffle. I have a 2qt accusump I will be installing this winter. The guy from Peru did a lot more then install the killer B pickup. He ported the oil passages. solidsnake11 also did a lot of oiling mods, you can still find some of his posts that he didn't delete.
