 body {height: 100%; color:#000000; font-size:12pt; font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;}'67 BJ8 with recently rebuilt engine and cast alloy oil pan by PO.7 Qts VR1shows marginally above top dip stick mark.
Oil coolerNormal running and idle OP is fine
Would welcome comments from more experienced listers.When oil is really hot - after a run after and after moderate hard braking (not panic stop) OP falls to zero for about 2-3 secs before recovering to normal - around 48 psi. Not noticed when oil is cold.

My thoughts:

Are there differences in the length of the pump input strainer assembly ?

Maybe should be using more oil with the extra oil cooler volume ? Maybe this dip stick is incorrect for this type of sump ?

This is bad for my BP - particularly when watching zero on gauge and waiting for it to pick up !!

Thank you
