Should I be happy w/ 35 psi cold Oil pressure new motor/5w30?
The mains are at .0015" and the rods at .0025-.0030" clearances. I have a stock oil pump that has been shimmed. I thought for sure I'd see more than 35 psi of cold oil pressure. Any input?
Thanks

I don't know hot oil pressure yet. I have the front accessories and balancer off the motor so I could possibly pull the pump. Is it possible that the o ring was oinched some? or would that give me little to no oil pressure?? I'm going to swap in my old non shimmed pump and see what it does.
