Re: Low idle oil pressure.
If the cam is a flat tappet, did you use a break-in lube for the cam on start-up?

Do you have an actual oil pressure reading at hot idle? A pressure reading from a real gauge, and not the one on the dash, woiuld be best.

If the engine has an oil filter, why are you using a non-detergent oil?
