forever at a 3k rpms warm idle my car was at above 50psi. like 55ish. now for about a month or so its been at 50 even sometimes a little less if im just under 3k rpms. now i know the .org install says i should only be at 50psi but why would it drop from where it was to what it is now? i thought maybe cuz id been using the same oil filter for a while that was it, but i changed that and my oil and its still the same. anyone have an clue?

mine was running around 55-60 for the longest time, but now around 50ish also....I'm thinkin maybe the cold???? nothing else seems to effect it....

but even when its not cold out, its still low....
i just get worried cuz my blocks coming apart soon and i have stock bore psitons, so i need my block to be as best shape as possible since im not getting a bore or hone, and i get worried that the block is scored or something and that is causing my low pressure. i donno, ill just pray its ok and hopfully someone has an awnser for us...

For some very strange reason i wanna say i noticed the same thing on my car. For the longest time I ran above 50 at 3K and now I'm almost head on 50psi. no idea what caused it though so I guess I really can't help ya lol
