Rick,

Just to put in my last two cents. I have been building engines the "Old School" way for almost 30 years and have NEVER had an engine I built come back for more than an oil change.
If one of my new engines fired up with that kind of oil pressure it would never make it out of my shop.
Also for the record the 4.6 Supercharged engine in our demo car pushes 80 psi at cold idle with a factory Ford race oil pump and I never messed with the bearings on the donor engine as it came out of a wrecked car with only 24,000 miles. I would not call the 4.6 "Old School"

Just and old school kind of guy
