New motor built- Couple questions Ok, I swear everytime I do a motor I get paranoid about its performance.
99 Vette.
MODS:
Car has a MS4 cam, PRC dual springs, LS6 Ported pump,Heads milled .025 7.400 pushrods. Fresh motor on first startup engine got great pressure. When its cold It got 60PSI at idle.
When the oil reaches 200Degrees 5w30 oil.
idle - steady 35 -40 Somewhere inbetween, Usually 37psi
At 2000 Rpm 45-47 Steady
from times it varies i saw it get as low as 35 @208F at idle at a drive through idleing for like 10 minutes.. It would never go below 35 However.
Am I good? its only 70 miles into the motor but Im always paranoid.
Next question
How loud is TOO loud from the PRC springs, Its a loud enough "swewing machine sound" to hear it standing near the car with the Hood closed.??
