oil pressure problem

I have had exactly what Rob is desribing. It hurt 1 rod bearing and was very low on pressure once warm at a idle. Never made any noise just lost oil pressure and this on a car with exhaust so I would have heard it knocking. When I dropped the pan the bearings all looked fine but one had lost it's tension in the cap, I almost reused it it looked that good. I put new bearings in with the old pump and it was back to idling hot at 40psi in gear again just new and went all last season like that.
