I was priming my W-2 today and with a 1/2 air drill I was getting 40 psi(this air drill doesnt turn real fast but has torque) and when I would turn the crank over and the cam lined up for the rocker oiling it would drop to 30 psi... last time I ran this engine(as is) it had 70+ psi at rev I think your going to have a problem with way to much pressure....

thats without the motor spinning and probably will not be an accurate reading while the engine is running.
And that is with the engine spinning by hand with a long 1/2 " ratchet. I did pause at the rocker oiling hole, and made sure al rockers has good oil, and it was a little less there. Its a precision blueprinted pump, and I didnt mess with it, its how they sent it too me.

I just preoiled the 501 and I got 70 without too much trouble (rpm) and 10W30 oil. But I too feel that this is not much of an indicator of the pressure in the actual running engine with hot oil. Of course if I had to "go like hell" and only Got 30 PSI I would be worried.

Its funny, When a person who hasnt followed your build read this, he would swear your 501 is a big block...

Since the cam turns half of what the crank does wouldn't the drill be turning the oil pump faster that the engine at idle?
Most our drills spin at 1800/2400 RPM and most cars idle at 900/1000 RPM.80 PSI on a drill is not a issue.If it was a lot less,I would be looking for a problem.

a lot depnds on your drill too. I use a 1/2 drive DeWalt and on high speed it's 2400. So it's 4800 engine speed and it's usually about 20psi higher turning the engine by hand to oil the top end on the stand than once it's running on the stand. I think you're fine.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

My 1/2 inch drill would not even spin 250 rpms once the oil pump pressured up. Spinning the drill with out the primer rod, it spins fast of course, but once the pump got pressure up, it just boggs my drill way down. At any rate, my new 499 on the floor, hooked to the trans, spinning the engine over with the starter hooked up and plugs out, it was 85 psi on the gauge. Once I started the engine up in the car, and broke it in, it was 75 psi hot at 2k and 45 at 850 rpms. It goes to 85 psi at 6k. I just run straight valvoline vr1 30w. I was considering putting a stock pump on. I installed an HV since I had an 8 qt pan and roller rockers with a solid cam. I feel it is too much pressure at the higher rpms. I street drive this engine
