Had a chance to drive the car on Tuesday and got the temp up to 170. At that temp with fresh 10w-40 the oil pressure was 20lbs while idleing !!

Since the oil presure sender is in line after the crank and before the cam towers, the increase in pressure through the crank and to the piston squirters approaches twice the pressure at idle than before installing the 3.6 fittings.
