RE: 428 oil pressure

Sorry to bring this up again, but I am seeing the same thing in that when the engine is started it may take about 5-7 seconds to reach the normal cold pressure (75 psi). Is this normal with the FE (my engine is solid lifter and plugged galleries as well)?

One difference is that my pressure never drops below 65 even when hot.

One interesting point is that I just got two truck blocks (360s) and both were missing the oil plug above the cam in the front. Could the engine ever have had enough pressure to run without this plug? I had to tear off the timing cover and install a plug. (That will never get by me again :-) )
This thread, so far...
