i replaced the oil pump twice to just make sure that the new pump wasnt bad the pressure stays at about 40psi at 1500 rpm but drops to 10 at 1000 the cams been replaced as well as lifters and rockers i have heard that these motors are known for low oil pressure. i have a dip stick oil heater that runs for 2 hours before i even think about turnin the key.

Wow, that engine looks as clean as new.
What year is it? What is it? A CJ7 or a Scrambler.

Very low pressure at idle. Yes the strait 6 does have issues with low oil pressure but you put in 2 new oil pumps and it's still low.
I'm not sure but if you don't get results in this thread start your own regarding this issue. Your problem will get lost in this thread.
Good luck

I got to take a 60 mile road trip to the nearest Lowe's. A two inch long lizard committed gecko-cide in the central a/c unit and zapped the thermostat.

Finished putting the engine back together. Will try to start it up when my son gets home to help me out.
Only took me 7 months to get the engine done. That long time is due to this being one of several 'repairs' I've had done over the last 2 years. (have two of these installed in my neck)

AMC 401?
Nice!
You'll have to let us know how that DUI ignition works out. I have heard a lot of good things about them.

Drove Rosy to work today.
Putzin around,& decided to fold down the windshield.
I had never done it before, & it looked like it had been a long time.
In the cavity for the wiper motor i found leaves, bugs, an old Bic lighter & 5 bucks.
My lucky day.

Let's see. I fixed my windshield wiper switch by replacing it with a new one. The old one was 36 years old so I figured it was toast. Fixed my blower motor switch so I have heat again (like I need it in AZ). Put some gas in it, filled up the tires (they were at 9 psi) then took my son for a drive. Best time I have had in ages. He and I are taking it to a buddy's tomorrow to hang out for a bit. He does love "our" jeep.
