Oil Pressure
Good afternoon. So, dynoed my engine after freshening and after several pull’s builder was concerned with ideal oil pressure. Melling 80psi pump, 20w-50 oil (aluminum rods). Oil pressure was 76psi @ 7000rpm and 220 deg oil temp. At ideal oil pressure was 15psi. He shimmed the spring but we did not re-dyno. Just fired engine in the car and it barred a Pro Comp 100psi Gauge. I let come up to temp and ideal pressure is 20psi. Bring the rpm up and rap the gas it pressure goes to 80psi. What are your thoughts, something to be concerned with? I told the builder who builds tons of race engines that Pontiac’s typically don’t have much ideal pressure.
