Engine is brand new 2.3 liter stroker that runs great except no oil pressure in the first 8 seconds then it runs fine with 30 lbs at idle and 60 lbs at highway speeds. Temp runs at 180 degrees normally with 210 being the hottest on very hot days. Any ideas on why it takes 8 seconds? Validated on dashboard guages and a mechanical guage. I can't drive this until I get pressure with the turn of the key.

External oil coolers / non OEM plumbing?

That’s my guess

Oil is having to pump to the front before returning to the motor



Accusump for pre oiling might be one solution
