Rbesola -
Let me be frank here. Sorry Frank ! Will you please answer my question on oil psi I asked earlier. We need to clear this up to see if you even have a psi problem. Plus, I'd really like to take off my helmet and leave the corner so I can go home. Thank you. |

Not that I ever do but just for the sake of figuring out the issue. Also I just have some cheap push in breathers and thinking maybe a baffled valve cover or a little more length might solve some of that.
And right after this run you are at 50 psi idling ? Your worry is a drop to 25lbs right when you pull the throttle back abruptly ? ======================================= Do I win a booby prize for insisting on this when/where/why/how oil question ? LOL. I'm now not seeing an oil psi problem. ====================================== On to the other part: You have non baffled valve covers and possibly a non baffled breather ? |

What temp is 180-190? Oil or water?
Also, what exactly are you motors? |
You definately have an issue or issue. With a high volume pump your oil pressure should never be 50 at idle. Something is wrong. What kind of oil filter are you using?

Okay...so....at the end of the 2 minutes at 6,000 rpm you are still at 75 psi ?

I took the idle comment not literally...as in a maybe low to mid 1000rpm in gear. Not a sub 1k idle/idle.
You thinking psi reg spring/disc hanging up ? Nah, cause this wouldn't increase psi at low rpm. Bigger helmet this time. |
Hey helmet boy with a HV pump at idle not 1000 rpm. That's way off idle it should have 70 psi + I think mine is 80@ 500 rpm 90 WOT after 30 miles of 6000 rpm and back to idle still have 80. There is something wrong. Might be something stupid like a Fram (non HP) filter...

Been watching this, and it just occurred to me that if you're ole, I didn't say it , is being whipped into a lather with air bubbles that would certainly affect pressure.
