my stupid high oil pressure
background info
so im running a 6 bolt NT block(no oil squirters) with BSE kit i have 7 bolt helical oil pump gears, with a 90 OFH with a mild port, i even added an extra crush washer to the bolt that holds the relief valve spring. im running an HX35 with a -4 feed line and -12 return line and i run 10w30 Valvoline full synthetic
so my oil pressure at my the OFH is 75 psi on cold start up and about 40-50 once its warmed up (idle is about 1k)
now for the sensor i installed teed to the feed line for my HX35. on cold start i saw 50+psi and after warmed up i saw about 30psi of oil.
I was kinda shocked, I was expecting lower. The reason I even did this was because I am burning oil only when my oil pressure is high.
I haven't gone for a drive yet to see what my pressure is once im driving around.
im pretty stumped i think im going to have to pick up another OFH and port it more and swap them out.
