Oil pressure after engine rebuild
So, upon first start up, new engine has an oil leak and oil pressure of 80psi when cold at about 1500 rpm. Is this pressure within an acceptable range. Balance shafts were deleted...

Thats what my 2.3 does. It will die down to around 25psi when it is warm and idling normally I find. Balance shafts are deleted.

all my motors were broke in with bradpenn break in oil and then switched to 20-50.

80+ psi cold idle is totally normal for me.
