A LOT OF INFORMATION i WILL TRY TO ANSWER ALL OF THE QUESTIONS.
1. i AM TAKING THE PRESSURE ON THE INPUT SIDE OF THE OIL FILTER.
2. iT IS A SPIN ON FLTER, WITH A PRESURE RELIEF VALCE. fRAM 1516 (i THINK) IT IS FOR THE COMMON FORD.
3. tHE FILTER IS A REMOTE MOUNTED FROM napa. THE FILTER IS ONE THAT THEY RECOMMENDED AS HAVING A BYPAS VALVE BUILT IN.
4. tHE OIL AND FILTER ARE ALL NEW. tHE ENGINE HAS LESS THAN 1 HOUR RUN TIME ON IT.
i HVE 1/2 INCH HIGH PRESSURE STEAL BRAIDED OIL LINES. i AM GETTING GOOD FLOW TO THE FILTER, i DISCONNECTED IT THERE AND CHECKED AS PART OF PRIMING.
5. BY JUST CRANKING THE ENGINE i GET 60 PSI, COLD. i ALSO GET OIL TO THE LIFTERS, I SEE IT FLOWING TO HE LIFTERS WHEN I PRIMED IT. (BOTH WITH A DRILL THEN LATER BY CRANKING WITH NO IGNITION.
5. THE OIL IS 10W30.
i LIKE ALOT OF OIL PRESURE, IT IS GENERALLY GOOD. BUT IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT IT PEGS THE NEEDLE WHEN COLD, AND ONLY DROPPS A LITTLE WHEN WARM.
IT IS A REBUILT ENGINE, SO MAYBE IT IS ALL JUST SO NICE AND TIGHT THAT THERE IS PLENTY OF PRESURE. JUST SEEMED ODD.
IT ALSO SCARED ME A LITTLE WHEN AFTER A 5 MILE DRIVE I HAD LOST A QUART OF OIL.
\MOST WAS A VALVE COVER GASKET THAT SLIPPED DURING INSTALL.
I WILL DRIVE IT TO THE MUFFLER SHOP AGAIN SHORTLY AND SEE HOW IT GOES.
