Low peak oil pressure

Does the relief valve move freely in the pump housing? That’s the next thing I’d check. Sounds like it’s stuck open. Then I’d pull the intake and prime it, watch for leaks around the lifters. If I saw nothing that worried me I’d be checking rod/mains clearance.

I’ll for sure be checking the relief valve once the motor is out. I’m also guessing it’s not closing all the way. Checked main and rods already and they were good. Failed to check the relief when the pan was off, but not doing that in the car again. I’ll be checking bearings again either way while the motor is out.

I agree idle pressure is okay enough, but shouldn’t peak pressure be 75psi+ since I Installed the mopar high pressure spring? Plus this is on 20w50. Pressures have not changed since first startup so I’m not not suspecting bearing damage.

This is a 6-700+ hp build so it’s my understanding that I want more pressure.
