I heard of oil pressure problems with 351w's. Just checked mine with an accurate gauge. Got 58 PSI from cold to warm, idle to rev.

I hope it is okay! fingers crossed. I got a time limit on this thing

Your fine anything above 10 psi at idle is good. Actually Windsor engines dont have oiling issues Clevelands are said to but thats probably more related to the fact that they are used more for racing.

As broncnaz said anything above 10psi at idle is fine as long as it goes up when you rev the motor

Just put a fresh 351W in mine also- with a newly rebuilt factory gauge it shows 60psi cold and about 25psi warm at idle. Seems fine to me.

Is this a look at me post about your new engine or an actual question?

10PSI per 1K RPM - my fresh motor makes ~55 cold on 5W-20 and goes down to 50 at temp...
