That is (just barely) in spec. I don't have the FSM on this computer, but the FSM is referenced in post #2 of this thread, and it specifies 14psi as the minimum (oil is at 180f versus your 200). Hold the RPM at 2000 with no load. FSM says the minimum should be 42psi

I am reconnecting my defi gauges tomorrow, I'll let you know what numbers I'm seeing
