hey are u running stock oil pan? with high volume oil pump. are u using a windage tray.. i wanted to say that the high volume oil pumps can cause problems unless ur gonna be running the motor over 7000RPM for more than 30 seconds. if not then its going to starve the bottom end of the motor from oil because its all going to be flowing to the heads. the best oil pump to get is the one thats blue printed with cryo-treated gears. because its common for these oil pumps especially the high volume ones to shatter. just a reminder i dont wanna see u burning up the mains and rod bearing with a high volume pump. do u have an oil pressure gauge?

In racing applications, the old school of thought was more oil pressure was needed to keep the engine lubed. That’s true if bearing clearances are loosened up. But most engine builders today tighten clearances so less oil flow is needed to maintain adequate oil pressure. This approach increases the horsepower output because less power is needed to drive the pump at high rpm.
According to various sources, a stock oil pump is usually more than adequate for modified stock block performance engines. NASCAR engines typically get by just fine with no more than 50 psi of oil pressure at 9,000 rpm! Some top fuel dragster and funny car engines are set up so the oil pump will dump excessive oil pressure at high rpm so more power will be routed to the rear wheels.
High Volume/Pressure
In applications where more oil flow is desired either to increase oil flow and pressure for better bearing lubrication and cooling, an oil pump with longer or larger gears may be installed. The physically larger surface area of the gears pushes more oil through the pump at the same rpm as a stock pump. A high volume oil pump typically flows 20 to 25 percent more oil than a stock pump. The increase in oil flow produces an increase oil pressure at idle, which helps compensate for increased bearing clearances. Consequently, some people may install a high volume pump in a high mileage engine in an attempt to restore normal oil pressure. But oil isn’t metal, and the only real cure for low oil pressure is to replace worn bearings and restore normal clearances.

nah 40 hours i really aint gonna need to unless im asked to work on saturdays which is rare. i work 7-4 pm 1 hour lunch
