hey all,
well this is funny. the problem more or less cured itself.
But i think your right with the warming up thingy's. pressure stays high (65-70PSI) with a cold engine, which then warms up to about 82(celsius)WT, the oil will stay quite cold for about 15 minutes after the water getting warm, en the pressure drop to a steady 40PSI at 3Krpm, and all stays putt, even the watertemp will not move from 82degrees, what a fine engine this is (the ford kent regularly went over 105 at idle)
so do not think the engine is warm when the water is, your oil won't be warm yet.
anyway I don't now what it exactly was that made the sudden pressure, but it's going very OK now, and fast!
regards Thomas
