oil pressure for 427 aluminum block
I have a stroked 427 (482) side oiler with pond block. I am told the oil pressure will bleed off as the engine gets to running temp (180 h2o temp and 200 oil tmp). I have 100 miles on the engine and when the temp gets to running temp the oil pressure at 1200 rpm is 18 lbs and 35 lbs at 2000 rpm. The oil pressure does increase quickly when rpm's increase.
This is my first aluminum block and is this typical?
Thanks in advance.
Mike
