Idle Oil Pressure Low

[rosankyharleyman]

I installed the baisley spring in my cam plate and have great pressure running down the road, 55-60 psi. My idle pressure still seems low, below 10. Of course I have not checked pressure with manual guage but was wondering why low pressure at idle.

O-rings

I agree with the "O" rings, biggest problem with pinching one on reassembly.

Would that be the O ring on the plug 0n top of the cam support plate ?

Generally it's where the cam plate is bolted to the engine case. They get squished and loose pressure there.
