oil pressure on engine just fired today
hey guys i had a thread about breaking in my engine. I fired it up this morning and everything seems good. sounds great. gear drive noisy. slight rough idle from 1103 cam. At the first startup today with engine cold, oil pressure went to 42 psi. with the engine running at 200 degrees for 10 minutes straight, oil pressure reads 22 psi. just went out right now to start and at 180 degrees, and engine idling at 600 rpm, pressure was 24 pounds. brought rpms to 2000 and held and pressure was 32 pounds. revved high to about 4000 and pressure went to 35 pounds. back down to idle and it goes to 22 pounds.
im using a new jegs mechanical oil pressure gauge. do these numbers sound like everything is ok?
