if you run a HI volume the pressure will be more. less your past .003.5 on the rods and mains why do you want hi pressure ??? you can add a shim under the spring if you must
I Was Told That The "25%" Is Refering To 25% More Volume Over Stock Volume, Not Pressure.
Pressure is the result of flow. More flow means more pressure. Use a HV pump ............

or back pressure/ resistance from more flow that in turns takes more HP to run the oil pump and will take the gear off the cam or dist in time :3dSMILE:Quote:

THAT IS WHY i WANTED TO RAISE THE PRESSURE. i WILL INSTALL A HV TOMMORROW THOUGH !!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS THINK ABOUT RUNNING 60W RACE OIL SINCE i WILL NEVER BE DRIVING IT IN THE DEAD OF WINTER(INDIANA). IS THERE ANY PROS OR CONS TO THIS??? THE MOTOR IS A NEW REBUILD, ALL THE PLUGS ARE INSTALLED, BUT I HAD THEM BUILD IT "LOOSE" ON CLEARENCES, BUT BUT ONLY ON TH HIGH END OF NORMAL. WHEN IT IS COLD THE PRESSURE IS FINE, ONLY AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 20 MIN;THE PRESSURE DROPS TO 5-10 @ IDLE, DRIVING AT 2300 RPMS IT IS 40-45 PSI. IT IS IN A 39 CHEVY COUPE SO THE WHOLE FRONTEND GETS HOT, IDLEING DUE TO RADIENT HEAT. I REALIZE THAt the oil is thinning resulting in the lower pressure, this is my first bbc. why don't they make high pressure oil punps like they make for sbc??????????? i am currently using 15w40 oil
try running a race oil in it 20w50 or just 50wt do not run a hv oil pump in a stock small pan less you have the stock vett or truck big pan on it or just not play with it you do not need much oil psi at idle if you know the oil is thinning out what make s you think your going to get more psi? if the oil is thin your volume will have to go up with thinner oil to see psi you run a hv oil pump in a stock pan and dry it out you will have many more problems then you do not have right now
