Just fired up the new 469 pump gas motor in my Pro Street, and to my dismay almost lost it because of a bad filter! It started good and I adjusted the idle at 2000 RPM and played with the throttle for cam break-in. I checked oil pressure and it was at 30 idling at 2000- 2200 and the temp. was good. I went back up front and played with the throttle while checking for any leaks. When I checked again the press. was down to 20psi. This time I climbed in and worked the throtle while watching the gage. As I increased RPM the oil press. decreased so I shut her down. Turns out to be a bad FRAM PF25 filter. I had just picked up some HP2 filters for the oil change so I changed the filter and the pressure was back. Thank God! 35psi at 2000 and 60 at around 4000! They're gonna get this one back! ... Eric
