Hello fellow bolters;

Fired up the the rebuilt '55 235 today and everything was fine until I noticed that the oil pressure only went to 20 psi, then down to 10 psi back to 20 psi and then settled in at 5 psi at idle, my book syas I should have 35 psi, increasing engine speed did not change the reading, still stayed at 5 psi. Everything in the Engine is new and Oil pressure gauge was checked and is functioning properly. My guess is the pressure relief valve might be stuck on the pump. Any ideas?

Thanks
