oil pressure

Mine runs at around 410 Kpa, drops back to 380 on the idle when hot.
Be very careful when installing a tee to the tapped hole for the oil pressure switch.
The wall thickness in the aluminium filter adaptor is very thin and will crack if you over-tighten the fitting.
The replacement filter adaptor from GM has addressed this fault and has a much thicker wall thickness.
