[Fot] Wierd Oil Pressure on Startup

[toodamnfunky at comcast.net]

It doesn't sound out of line with straight 30 wt and the bearing clearances we run. It wouldn't hurt to drop 
the center main cap and a rod cap ( 2 or 3) and have a look.

Hi, 

I usually run a load of Rotella through an an engine that I've had apart, the T1 straight 30 wt stuff. Anyway, I started the motor last evening and the initial oil pressure was 60 or 70 PSI 2000 RPMs with cold oil (ambient was about 80 F). This is different from the 80 - 100 PSI I get with 20w50 cold. 

In any case, I'm dropping the pan to check the oil pump clearances, which I had done earlier, but I wanted to see if these numbers seem "normal" or not. 

Regards,
