- This might be kind of late but I was wondering if this is a fresh engine? I lost pressure on a new re-build (tr-6) and a change of oil filter took care of that. It was simply swarf from the engine br

- And worth mentioning that (in my experience) when this is happening the temp gauge may behave strangely as it is better at measuring coolant temperature than 'air' temperature. IOW, I wouldn't rely s

- One of the rules of thumb is 10 psi per 1000 RPM - so 20 psi at 2000 RPM, 30 psi at 3000 RPM, etc. 30 psi isn't great (I'd rather see 50) but it's not awful either. If it starts dropping, THAT's a "s

- My opinion is that you have 'enough' oil pressure. Not great, but 'enough'. At some point when you can it might be a good idea to check the pressure with a test gauge just in case your gauge is not a

- Screwing it in (clockwise) can / should increase the pressure, screwing it out will decrease the pressure. If it's screwed in all the way, that fight's been fought already. As someone else said, you
