oil pressure
1971 corvette after market non matching engine 350 not sure if 2 or 4 bolt. My oil pressure when cold starting is at 60 at idle and then after 10 minutes when it warms up it drops down to just under 20 at idle, around 40 at 1500 to 2500. Is this normal. Is 20 too low for idle?
I'm running castrol gtx for cars with over 100,000 miles and a can of engine restore in it. Engine runs good aside from some early morning smoke on first cold start.
Thanks.
