Okay so i finally got a mechanical oil pressure gauge. My oil pressure dosent seem to go over 25-30 psi after it warms up. When i first crank it at a cold idle it is around 50ish psi an after it warms up it settles around 15 psi. When i test drove it today my oil pressure wasnt really going up with my rpms, i only got it to about 3000 rpms an noticed my oil pressure was only at 25 psi so i didnt keep going in fear that id seize up my engine. Ive read up on this issue a good bit an im pretty sure its the front facing oil filter housing im using. Im just looking for some opinions on either welding the little hole in the front facing oil filter housing or just getting a 6 bolt air cooled ofh. But i am kinda worried about the 6 bolt ofh because it seems to have the releif hole too(my stock 7 bolt didnt not) so any information about that would be nice because i dont want to spend 200$ for the 6 bolt ofh an cooler setup an have the same problem when could have just spent 40$ for some aluminum brazing rods an a torch. I just want to know which do yall think would be a better idea.
