Well after my relocated oil filter hit and scraped the side walk, and leaked my oil out I got a little rod knock. My cure was to rip it all apart, and get the crank recut, and all the rods cut, and installed everything back together. I have a dual oil filter mount to add extra oil volume. Any way my stock sender was no good, and that is why I got knock, I didnt know my pressure was droppping after the oil filter scraped the ground. So I raised the height of the filter mount, and got a new autometer oil pressure gauge, and sender kit. My new oil pumnp is shimmed and I get 100psi at start up. It then idles at 50psi untill it gets hot. After driving for a while the idle settles to 25psi and cruises at 40psi at 2500 rpms. At 3000rpms I get 45psi and over that 50-60. I havent tried higer rpms test yet but I have gotten up to 75psi in lowwer gears. :bigthumb:
