Not Ranked
Totally agree with you M&M, I will be on both the builder and B&B several times a wk. until this is resolved and will approach the dyno idea. I'd like to see it on a dyno for several reasons.. I should have pushed that aspect the first time but didn't think I'd have the problems I'm having. BTW I see you are in Portland.. my hometown is Corvallis.. so you are in my old stomping grounds. As for the type of oil I'm using, I've used 10W40 from day one. Valvoline.. now I know everyone has their preference but that's what it came with and that's what I've stuck with. I was also told under penalty of death to never never put synthetic in it so I intend not to.. the pressure does drop below 30 when she's hot so I may go to a heavier wt. say 20W50 or something like that. Although cruising the pressure is somewhere around 35 to 40 so actually with the high volume pmp that is a good cruising pressure, after all it's volume not pressure that lubes the bearings etc. I am keeping track of all the suggestions and Friday when I call the builder back I intend to bombard him with them. and Monday the same with B&B. With all this vast knowledge and experience I'm sure we can solve the situation it's a matter of getting the proper people to realize all of you know what you are talking about.
Thanks.
