When I rebuilt my bottom end, I shoved a little 5/16" nut in the oil pressure regulator to boost oil pressure a little. I noticed that intense had a kit for it on thier website, so I figured it must be beneficial.
WHen the engine is cold and below 2800rpm, the oil pressure is about 90psi. it I rev it up past 3000rpm, the pressure will shoot up to almost 120psi. I figure that isn't good for the engine, so I try to avoid doing that.
Once at op temperature, the pressure will stabilize at 60psi at idle, and raise to 90psi above idle.
I currently use mobil 1 10w-30 oil. SInce I have high pressure, should I use a thinner oil to reduce the ultra high cold pressure? What are the operating characteristics of the intense oil pressure kit?
