Update on low oil pressure...

So put a new gauge in today. Went up to a little over 65 lb cold. Rotella 15 w 40 conventional motor oil. Took it for a 20 minute drive. oil pressure above 45psi when giving it gas, idles at 14 PSI. It was a cheap $20 gauge from hyspeco. Plus that Gage had a 0 to 160 PSI sweep. I bought a new gauge from them that was a 65 PSI Max. When I first built this motor the oil pressure was at about 14 so basically I'm back to where I was at before. Got about 30 thousand miles pushing 450 horsepower driving it hard.talk to some guys over in Europe they said they get about 25,000 miles out of them before you should put in new bearings, I just waited a little too long. So we'll see how long this one last before I have to tear it apart again. Maybe I'll take it a little easier on it hahaha probably not.
