Ok,
Maybe I am reading too many posts and starting to doubt myself so once and for all. I have been around cars all my life but for some reason, I am starting to feel stupid when it comes to this one. I want to ask you guys your thoughts.
When I 1st start my car, oil pressure is about 60 PSI. As the car warms up to op temp, the oil pressure goes down.... all the way to about 10 PSI @ idle. Mind you, I am running Brad Penn 20W-50 oil with a Professional Products aluminum oil filter w/50 micron screen.
The nice thing is... as soon as I hit the throttle, oil pressure goes up 10 PSI for every 1K rpms.
My motor has a desernible tap from passenger side. sounds like cylinders 4 and 6. it doesnt get any louder whether the car is cold or at op temp, of course just faster with engine RPMs. Car runs well and I have no hesitiation under normal driving or under boost. Should I be worried about what I am seeing here?
From some of my other posts, I do have some issues I am currently working through. Bad TB shaft seals, car having low BLMs (117-112) and running rich, the absence of my MAF screens... which I had no clue were missing, as well as the issue stated above.
Your opinions and feedback are always welcomed and appreciated!
Thanks guys!
Chris
