Fresh 427 s/o 40psi oil pressure drop

[jimmymac]

Ok, here is the problems.Thanks to Neil At Guessford's he made me look at this differently. Oil restictors are important but won't hurt oil pressure like i'm experiencing. Check your build sheets clearances. All under .003 I'll bet there's a reason for that. My Engine builder didn't care to pass on. My engine moves so much oil I believe it would suck the pan dry at wide open throttle in less than a minute. But oil pressure takes horsepower. To generate volume at lower pressure takes less power,more oil moving. I asked for less clearance but he didn't listen. Chev man. So a few extra 10th's cost pressure. I'll bet money no one can tell me oil pressure at the rod berring oil pressure at 70psi engine at 7000rpm. there other force's at work there ,centrifugal slinging the oil from the main to the rod journal. Sooo with the extra clearances i'm using a lot more volume. With my filters an oil cooler an ONE BRASS fitting that I even opened up inside just wasn't big enough anymore. RESTRISTING my oil flow at higher rpm (volume) What I'll have to do is run an 10 to my filters sn 8 to my cooler an8 from cooler to a block (three way) an8 from filters to block then an10 back to engine. sort of a bypass. that much oil can't be cooled going through the cooler that fast. It (the cooler) will still restrict the flow some. so the by pass line So I hope this will efectivly cut resistance and Increase oil flow. Later I'll put a set of .001 under berrings in it so I won't use the volume i'm using now. Look for new post Fe-85 fuel soon as i get some down here. Stennis Space center is closest I've found . THANKS TO ALL FOR HELP.jimmymac427
