Oil pressure is about 40 psi after cold start then down to about 25 psi after warmed up. That's with the S.A.E. 30 oil. I've left the thermostats out for summer so the temperatures aren't up to 160° yet driving around town under 40 mph. Haven't tested violent acceleration yet. Am still taking it easy on the new rings and lifters.
