Congrats Tim. I think I heard it running here on the East Coast. Oil
pressure sound typical for engine that is up to temp. With Mobil 0-40,
you would be worried at the low idle oil pressure, but should not.
Pressure is only one data point on what a lubricant is suppose to do,
and if you have a high volume oil pump, not a problem.
If you have a Hurst shifter, it needs to be aligned, but don't know
about the stock shifter.
Have fun with that pretty and stout new engine. Look forward to the
dyno tapes.
