I have 80PSI cold when warm up the engine and drop to 40-45 in 5 mins. When running for more than hour at cruise I'm at 20 PSI. At idle when I'm maneuvering into the slip, I'm at so low on oil pressure that I'm worried about the OPSS killing the engine.
Now back to the question: Has anyone else done the larger 1/4" NPT Street ell into the oil pump?  |
Bearing clearances? Have you measured the oil temperature? You might putt off a rebuild with an oil cooler and maybe thicker oil.
