- That doesn't explain all cases. I've observed this in cars that had plenty of
- oil in the sump and in which the attitude of the engine didn't change
- significantly when you took your foot off the gas. I always assumed the pressure
- went down because the rod bearing clearances change and perhaps enlarge when the
- engine is operating in an overrun condition.
