Oil Pressure WNL?
Had been flying on idiot lights thus far but now I have a gauge set for temp, volts and oil pressure. First ride today with the gauges.
Oil pressure started out around 55 psi then with the engine warmed up to 190 the oil pressure at idle would drop to 20 psi. Still 40 - 45 psi above idle.
Is this OK? I know nothing about the engine history except that it's an early 70s YT block with 6X heads. Had the valve covers off yesterday and it looks pretty clean up top anyway.
