Joe,

You are 15-20 lbs low of optimum. Something may be wrong like excessive clearances or omitted plug of some kind. Your pressure may drop even further when you hook your cooler up as it will blead oil and therefore pressure out of the system. If nothing is wrong you may need a higher pressure pump. The numbers you gave are not alarming but as another poster said, for a new motor they are low. -Bob
