Default Solved oil pressure problem

I just installed a new timong chain and gears in my T/A with the tr224 cam.Afterwards the oil pressure was low and lagging behind engine speed.After reading all of the posts I took the pump back apart and found that I had cut the oring between the pickup and the pump.With the new oring oil pressure is 37-40psi hot idle,about 50psi at 2,000rpm and 70psi at 6600rpm. Thanks for the info guys. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
