Hello, finished installing the oil cooler today. Used the starter (plugs out) to build pressure and lube the engine.
New Titan 340, Phillips X/C SAE 20W‐50, builds 50psi at cranking speed.
I noticed the oil pressure is slow to decrease once the engine stops. It drops to about 30 psi in a few seconds but then is surprisingly slow to go any lower. perhaps 30 - 45 seconds to get to 15psi. There is an oil pressure switch, and a pressure sender, they both agree so I don't believe it is an indication issue.
I'm hoping this is just a symptom of cold oil, and the Vans AN restrictor fitting in the engine?
