lost a little oil pressure
« on: April 19, 2017, 07:29:40 PM »
i just replaced my stock cj heads,pi intake,and stock adj rockers with bbm heads rpm intake and hs rockers.i fired it up after the swap and it sounds wonderful but i used to have 75 psi at startup,but it now has 60-65 at startup.i had restrictors to the rockers on the cj heads,but the bbms i did not touch them.any reason on the oil pressure loss,or is it nothing to worry about?

What's your pressure at idle, warm? They're probably just flowing more oil to the rockers, and as long as the head isn't flooding and you have decent pressure at idle, I wouldn't be concerned.
