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.

Glad to hear you have you have old Henry back together. I know how it is not being able to hop in the old car and go for a ride. Enjoy.

Now my biggest difficulty is keeping my butt on my chair at my home office and working when I hear Old Henry out in the garage whining to cruise.
