CRX with b16a1.

What should my max pressure be?
I installed an oil pressure guage a year ago, never saw it go over 60psi.

In the last couple weeks...I have seen higher and higher readings. First saw it at 65psi, now its up to 70. These numbers are max, and oil pressure doesn't go to 70 at full throttle, just inpetictular times in acceleration. Checked the oil, and it was at the correct amount(3.5qt)

What could be some reasons for this? And what to check if that is wrong?
PS: Valves are ticking like crazy, but nothing out of the ordinary.

 

on my D series it was roughly about that when it was stock....70psi or so...


now with my new D series motor its 80psi at like 4 grand....it would be higher but the bypass on the oil pump doesnt let i go past 80....

as long as you dont see the oil pressure drop below what it originally was...60psi you should be fine

 

it sounds low to me... and the correct amount of oil is 4.25-4.50 qt

 

my ls oilpump takes it to as high as 90

 

Appricate the comments.

I was just worried that something was clogged, and that was creating higher pressures
