Hello all , we have an o-360 Carb engine, after an oil change with the builder shortly after purchasing the plane the oil pressure dropped. At start we have 42 use to hang right at the green at 55. Then in flight it drops to 35 and the temp stays steady at 180-190 range. Here is what i have done
we did go from a tempest to a champion filter
w100 plus oil
Verified indications are correct via manual gauge.
changed oil and cleaned suction screen no debris found
changed the new oil filter and checked it for debris none found
Oil pressure relief-changed to the white spring part # LW-11713 went from 5 washers behind standard to 4 washers behind the white
initial start up oil pressure was at 70PSI,
In flight when the plane warms up the pressure decreases to 35 and stays steady.
Any ideas are welcome thanks
