Greg,

Oil temp at 180-190 degrees, 2500 RPM, around 65 PSI. Idle can vary a lot but somewhere in to 25-30 range. Normal rod and crank clearances are at 0.0025"

With cold oil you may see 80+ pressures on startup.

If you can't get your oil temp up - you might consider a bypass/thermostat for the oil cooler.
