Cam startup, 58psi cold oil pressure ok? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

As title says, is it normal? It was 60 at first then it came down to 58 stable for like 2-4mins.

I could not run it longer because I finished the job in the middle of the night and neighboors already hate me haha Its a bit loud..

Sounds right

Sounds fine. Sorry if you posted a build thread and I missed it, but did you change out the pump for a high volume or high pressure pump?

WHAMMO · 04-21-2016, 10:58 AM

Ok good!! Yes it has a high press Melling pump with the high press o ring on the pick up tube.

I didnt bump my build thread cause it needs tuning and it didnt run more than 4mins...

Normal, when oil is at temp it will be around 35-45.

Gearheaded · 04-21-2016, 07:27 PM

Which pump? 10295/10296?

JCunningham · 04-21-2016, 07:57 PM

what do you mean hi pressure o ring. the pump comes with 2 o rings for the pick up tube you are using.

blake-b · 04-21-2016, 08:35 PM

I think he means high pressure spring.

WHAMMO · 04-21-2016, 09:33 PM

Green o ring. Melling oil pump

WHAMMO · 04-21-2016, 11:19 PM
