Thanks you guys....I had some issues with oil pressure. I recently installed a gauge and noticed my oil press at idle was around 25 psi and would drop to 8-10 psi. It would not go above 50 psi when I revved the motor. I tried different oil weights and another oil press gauge, still had the same issue. I pulled motor and took it apart to check oil pump & bearings. No sign of failure that would of cause this issue, I'm going to check my clearances to see if there too loose. I'm still running the balancers and oil squirters. I'm going to delete the balancers and maybe the squirters too.

I'm going to buying a new pump from KS with the delete kit and putt it back together after all clearances are double checked.
I read some wear that H motors have poor oiling system. I wonder if this is true.

The b.s. delete will definitely give you oil pressure. I think my idle went from 10 psi to over 20. I have been running the same oil pump for the last 3 engines and I still have the squirters with a TON of oil pressure. The pump has about 80-100k on it. I got it on a jdm engine and have been rocking it ever since. Good luck with it.

I just found this "Considering the spec is 10psi min at idle and 50psi min at 3k, what's the problem."

Great job on the build man, I had a similar prob with my oil pressure, I bought a new OEM pump, and it just bumped me up a little, my idle is now 12-15 and WOT it sees 70-80 no more than that for me , my guess would be your pump maybe?
