Oil Pressure

Wow, I didn't know they had a K member out. Looks very nice. Did you weight the difference between it, and the stock setup?

@Tomster may be interested in the weight savings.

Yes. 67.0 to 47.9. No motor mounts or bolts on either. 19.1 savings.

This post has no meaning.....disregard. Thought I didn’t post above.

Cold Start solid 125 PSI. After 30 minutes of driving in 108˚ outside air temp, 85 PSI at 2000 RPM, 35 PSI at idle and anytime I moderately accelerate goes right back to a solid 125 PSI. Oil temp stayed a constant 200˚.

Now that's normal pressures.

Is there ever a bad 'high' oil pressure number and what would that be, a high pressure number you would be worried about?

Normally, I'd be concerned about numbers spiking well over 100psi when cold but that appears to be normal for this engine/pump combination. I'd just pay close attention to numbers at certain temperatures/rpm get used to it and note when you see it deviate.

i happen to change my oil this weekend and my car has been in Air conditioned shop , so my cold startup was nice and cold. Not sure what made me look at oil pressure but saw it and panicked thinking i screwed something up....it was around 125. But once warmer appears to follow what others have seen.
