Default Oil pressure

Was wondering if anyone has run across this before. Just readjusted the Comp Cams roller rockers. Before wasn't sure how many turns on the adjusting nut was the right amount. Turned out had them alittle to tight. Any way took a dial indicator and put on the rocker and found out that exactly one full turn was .060 so that what they are adjusted now. Noticed now that they are adjusted to the 1 full turn the oil pressure seems to run at least 5 more PSI. Any one come across this before or have any reason this might be.

I have those in that ratio and am just waiting to install them. Are you running the stock lifters? If so did you just do the old school set up adjustment when you installed them. Find zero lash and then go one full turn?

Yes i using the stock lifters. Doing the method of adjusting 1 cylinder at a time.When the exhaust starts to open adjust intake valve. After the intake has opened and is almost closed again adjust exhaust valve. Seems to work pretty good. Just one thing to watch out for if your cylinder heads have been ported in the intake runner were it's ported there will be a hole there now from the rocker arm stud hole. Use some good sealant around these stud threads when you put them in.
