Anyway, I started the motor last evening and the initial oil pressure was 60 or 70 PSI 2000 RPMs with cold oil (ambient was about 80 F). This is different from the 80 - 100 PSI I get with 20w50 cold.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1503503757596_7682"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1503503757596_7683">In any case, I'm dropping the pan to check the oil pump clearances, which I had done earlier, but I wanted to see if these numbers seem "normal" or not.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1503503757596_7715"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1503503757596_7716">Regards,</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1503503757596_7717">Bob Lang</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1503503757596_7718">339-927-4489<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1503503757596_7602"><br></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>fot@autox.team.net<br><div><br></div>http://www.fot-racing.com<br><div><br></div>Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html<br>Archive: http://www.team.net/archive<br>Forums: http://www.team.net/forums<br>Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/toodamnfunky@comcast.net<br><div><br></div><br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
