At first startup, I wil have 65psi. if i just tool around town, the pressure will stay in the 10 to 15psi range at idle. Normal pressure when warm and at ~1500-2500rpm is 45-48.
after a freeway drive, and the car comes back to idle, the pressure drops to 0. I've installed a NEW RAT 30mm NON full flow oil pump with .005 clearance on the front cover. Oil is BP 20/50w CHT are in the 350-360 range oil pressure gauge is a dakota digital. I have a stock oil temp gauge and I have never seen it go much past the middle towards the hot side. All the clearances on the rebuild where at STD. Oil bypass springs where installed the right way. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank's,Keith |
