New 440 build oil pressure

[Hemirunner]

My 383/432 Stroker - New motor

180 degrees hot idle 650/700 Rpms

Full groove main bearings - .002 / .0024 Clearance mains/rods

10w30 Valvoline VR1 Idle 18-20 psi - Cruise 70 psi

20w50 Valvoline VR1 Idle 25 psi - Cruise 75 psi

I don’t care much for the full groove mains. I prefer the 3/4 grooves for the added surface area where the oil wedge forms.

No. You’ll have to use half grooves, make 3/4 grooves from half grooves or line bore to RB mains for better bearing options.
