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...
