ive been searching on the webste and everyone is saying that oil pressure should be at around 20-25psi on idle my new motor on idle only puts out 11 on idle, and at 2500 it puts out 50 psi
im takign it this is a bad thing? my clearances were all within the specs. im just wondering if i should worry..... its been like this since i built the motor and its been a while since then. ive put more than 3000 miles on it and its running great, and when i look in the oil cap theres always moving oil in the valve cover, and when it first starts it gets 68ish psi.
so i dont know... shoudl i worry about it or forget it and wait till the oil pressure drops more
btw im readign the oil pressure off an automoter guage, Pro comp ultralite.
and im running 10w30 regular oil
