After my partial rebuild early spring 2015 & having done at least 6 serious lil system flushes, I adjusted the oil pressure bypass in because i was seeinf pressure holding at about 25 - 30 lbs. After the adjustment I saw 35-40 lbs. Then I drained my last clean oil , something cheap and common, 10-30 and filled her up with 15-40 Rotella. Did a few more odds and ends which allowed the engine to cool down and give her a start.
The start up pressure shocked me at 70lbs right off the bat. Then quickly drolped to 60. I thought I waz going tl need to adjust the.pressure down. However, after warming up the pressure dropped back to hold.between 30-40 under normal opperation .
Obviously 60-70 is way too much but Im now wondering if opperation 30 & 40 is ok.
