Your oil pressure is low. Mine is 37 at a hot idle.

Wow, that seem high. Was is your oil pressure at 2,000 RPM?
Is you oil pressure sensor connected to the engine block, or sandwich plate?

Rusty

I'm tapped into the block. I used a tee for the factory sensor and the SpeedHut sensor.

Here's a thread I started about oil pressure.

Is there a particular material you would recommend for the adapter? I'm seeing aluminum ones mostly.

Somewhat unrelated to your question, but I’d recommend an AN adapter that tees off an oil line instead. If installed on the oil return line to the sandwich plate, I assume the reading is basically the same as the OEM spot.

The tee adapters to fit into the block seemed to be tough to find and of questionable quality when I looked into it. The one I did end up ordering turned out to be absolute junk and didn’t thread in to the block properly.

I instead used an AN adapter with NPT port and it was easier to install, easier to find/order, and seems to be way better quality and more robust.

Interesting read, thanks for sharing it.

It would be interesting to see your oil pressure with 5W30... but I don't think it would be much different at 180F.
