I have a new 3.8 engine I purchased that was never fired. Because the builder is deceased I do not know how it was put together. My oil pressure hot is 22lbs at idle, just tap the gas and it will hit 50, 45-60lbs steady driving at 2500-3000 rpm. When I hammer it I have seen pressure pushing 109lbs on the scanmaster!
I wonder if it is a high volume pump with the crank drilled? Bigger passages create lower pressure at idle but the high volume pump and tight bearing clearance will crank the pressure up at full thottle? It runs excellent with no noises.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
