Hi All
I知 at a pickle with my new ford racing 427 sb crate engine.
I finished dressing the long block and primed the engine using the recommended drill to spin the
oil pump. At the time I noticed my gage went up to 100psi.
Installed a new gage and same thing, 100psi.
I recently hot tested the engine on a stand and at idle it was around 80psi and at higher idle it went up to 90psi and fluctuated as rpm changed, this also verified with a pressure sending unit so I can rule out the gages.
I called ford and they seem concerned but the engineers have not responded yet.
I知 running the recommended 10w30.
I know I can稚 be the only one with this problem, any ideas? I believe they use a Mahle pump which is high volume. I知 starting to have anxiety over this because for some reason I知 guessing ford will tell me I知 **** out of luck because they never experienced this before.
Any ideas?
