[T3] Still too tight

[Keith Park]

the oil pressure is still poor it idle, but it IS there.
Im still on the break in oil for the new cam, so that will get
better when I put the regular oil in but its about the same as it was on the
last build, I didnt find any bearing issues with the last build either... Im
getting the impression that T4 idle oil pressure is just poor anyway.

This is the line that's troubling:
[[[It quickly free's up after its been off just a few minutes.]]]
A few minutes (even 10 minutes) isn't enough time for things that get hot to
cool down. Kinda rules out heat expansion related issues.
 
 
Then you said this:
[[[with no stiffness problems before I pulled it apart for low oil pressure
issues]]]
So now I'm assuming you have high oil pressure - and that is different
condition now than what you had before.
And oil pressure is something that would bleed off after a few minutes of
not running.
Is there any way high oil pressure could affect the motor tightness you are
seeing?
I know it's a reach, but it seems like you have ruled out end play and
compression related causes.
