That's the best type gasket to use, good choice. If you get the pan and pickup verified and it all checks out. Your problem could be a bearing clearance issue and that's my guess on your problem. Does it stay at 10 psi even under a load, meaning during acceleration ?

thanks i'll get that gasket ,, i have the felpro now and i watch alot of videos and they had the blue one ,, i'll keep you guys posted about the PSI

nope still could be others things not just bearings but no one reads any post s as this was covered way back . still ten pounds at idle is ok but that was in some post on this . that gasket is ok comes with the helping hands with the gaskets did many with out the one pc gasket that gasket takes all the fun out of the job

update

i used a normal gasket , i was affraid i was going to have to remove it ,, its all well no leaks ,, now on start up cold , i was getting 45 to 50 PSI ,, after hot running about 180 to 190 deg it was about 15 PSI but as soon as i give it the gas it shot up to 40 or so maybe more ,, , so i am going to drive it for a while and see what happens ,,
thanks to all the guys that give me info several times ,,

well i went out driving and ,, i am not happy with oil pressure ,, driving about 1500 rpm i am only showing around 20lb and at idle 700 or so i show lower , its hard to say ,, here is a pic to what i have

Equus - Products - 7234 2, i wish i had taken off a cap to see the condition ,, ,, ohh well i am going to drive it for now, and enjoy

so would air in the line make a difference ??
