ok i jus dropped in my lsvtec ,plugd in everything s.o.b. started right up , problem is the oil pressure gauge says 80psi??? can that be right ,i used this gauge not that long ago and it was accurate, and it idles like **** which thats a timing issue i have to fix, also i have weisco piston and eagle rods and i seem to hear a lil knocking idk its not to bad , anyways what im getting at is 80psi to much and my timing belt is loose as hell anyone gotta fix for these probs noob questions but this is my first uild on my own

 

did you use the vtec oil pump?
is normal to hear noise because the new forged pistons are expanding.

 

yea i used a vtec oil pump,i followd lsvtec guide to the T, i was told from a few people high oil pressure is normal until broken in,as far as the knockin its loud when does this loud *** knock stop it kinda makes me think somethin wrong
