i have a gsr recently rebuild ,but recently ive noticed that the oil press when cold is great but when reaching operating temperatures i have like 15 psi on idle and 42 psi on 3k,i read that it should be 50 psi on 3k if i keep revving it up it will go up to 80 psi but my concern is if i can harm the motor at that particular range where i dont have enough press,also no problem hitting vtec no oil press loss,the pump is new thanks for the reply!!

Who did the rebuild?

Improper bearing clearances would cause lower/higher oil pressure. Or maybe you should try out another gauge.

it was a reputable machine shop who build the engine and the motor was blueprinted,my concern is it could harm the motor with tthat press?also im using a glowshift gauge and the crank got polished im assuming it has more clearance than stock for a ticker oil film
