Hey speaking of which, what kind of oil pressure should I expect? What would be considered "normal" for my setup at idle and while driving?

That I'm not sure of. I didn't have 100% of the specs when I bought the motor. So far from what I'm gathering it seems like once it's heated up it should be between 20-30 at idle and around 40-50 during normal driving.
