So.
Engine runs and drives great but...
Oil pressure on start up is Just above 55 lbs ( 4kg/cm2)
When Hot its more or lessen the same.
But while driving i saw the pressure dropping to 1.5kg on revs. When stopping it goes back to 2kg .
Edit. Sat down. Drank a cup of tea. Popped out a ballbearing from a cv and replaced the plunger with it. Instant pressure up to 75 lbs and warm under load 60 to 65 lbs.
Edit. Noticed i can Just pull of the oilpressure tube to the gauge by hand. Does not leak oil though. Yet. Doet thinck that is supossed to be like that. ( airleak causing trouble or faulty reddings?)
Shut down engine wait 5 seconds restart and pressure is back at 4kg. Stays there till you put load on it.
Bearings all within tolorance. Spiderdrive high flow pump.
Central Pick up.
Pressure release valve? Or worden?
