I stopped in at the machine shop that did my short block and asked about the oil pressure. He said that my bearing tolerances were within limits, but at the loose side of the limits. That's why my oil pressure is down to 11 PSI at hot idle. He said that it will be fine at that pressure but if I wanted to do anything, I could add Lucas oil additive, or a high volume oil pump. Both of those would increase the oil pressure.
