    Hi All,

    I have a KB Stage 10 with a P & P dry sump pump, red line 60 weight oil. I haven't had any issues with bearings or rockers or anything like this but appear to have lowish oil pressure. It drops as low as 97 psi at 9000 in high, and only has a max 115 in high. Is there an issue here to worry about? or because its not hurting anything don't worry?

    Thanks

    Switch to 70W? Shim the relief spring? Mine does the same thing!

    It wont hurt anything, that is plenty of oil. Make sure you dont have a steel braided line coming from your pump, they are not designed for suction and are notorius for making very trivial oiling problems by collapsing.

    Our P&P pumps both have adjustment bolts in them. The cap that goes over the relief spring is threaded 5/16"NC and have a bolt with a jam nut in it. Makes for easy adjusting if you need to.
