New Motor, Oil Pressure Quest....

[TommyDSM]

So I have a freshly built 6-bolt... No BS, and a '90 Oil Filter Housing with External Oil Cooler. My oil filter housing had the relieve valve opening ported...

Wondering what kind of oil pressure should I be seeing?

Right now my aftermarket gauge shows about 100PSI Starting...
Then drops down to around 80psi....
Me cruising on the highway around 3000-4000RPM I see about 70-80PSI of oil pressure.
WOT I see about 100psi...
At a stop I get about 20psi and under....

Sounds good to me, about the same as i get, and my relief housing is heavily ported.. I guess i should have ported it more.

Great! One less thing to worry about in a new motor

I see pretty much similar pressures on my motor without the filter housing ported, and oil squirters plugges with BSE kit.
