Default lowest oil pressure for engine to survive

1942 Mercury engine, starts out with good oil pressure 50#, slowly decreases to about 15# as it is being driven, 20w50 oil, added some lucas extender and op went to 18# driving. Worn bearings? bad oil pump? bad relief spring? other wise runs great. no blowby. oil pressure was done with mechanical gauge
