I'm getting nuts.

Engine is right back in the car with new cam, new distributor gear. Distributor length is measured it's not binding in the bottom.

Everthing looked O.K.

Pressure relief was set to 90PSI cold.

Car has now 90PSI cold, 75-80 PSI warm at 2000 rpm.

But......................95-100 PSI warm at 3000 to 3500 rpm.

100 PSI is the max even with 6000 rpm on the meter.


I think it's the HV Oil pump which is setting the 20 PSI higher end result warm.

Oil is 5W30 synthetic. Oil filter is a Moroso racing with very low flow resistance.

Should we open again the oil pan and decrease the warm pressure at 3000 rpm to 70 PSI????

Oil pump is still adjustable.


Cheers,

Uwe
