My motors manual says max oil pressure for a 1955 235 is 35 psi. On a cold start up I have a 30 psi reading, and after fully being warmed up have 5 psi at idle and between 10 to 20 psi depending on engine speed. The engine is rebuilt and a new oil pump was installed. Are these oil pressure readings correc or should I have more pressure.

thanks
John Gott
