What is with the 3.9 and 5.2 oil pumps?

The 3.9 in our 91 Dak has started to just lose oil pressure. Oil is fresh and so is the Wix filter. But changed them just for sure. Truck did it again. Engine has 86,000 miles. We pulled the Kegger manifold to seal the bottom and the engine was not sludged up.

1984 Rampage

I have a Rampage that had the 3.56:1 525 trans. The 2.2 is dead in #4 and looks like the exhaust valve stem’s tip is a lot lower so lost a valve seat. I have about 5 2.2 heads, 2 are swirl type. I have a 265 Degree 0.499″ lift roller cam for it too.

So the question is, do a rebuild? or…..
