Default A question for those of you with hs rr's

so i got my hs 1.7 rr's installed finally today. took it out on the road...what an improvement!!! i did notice though that my oil pressure dropped below what it normally was before i installed them. is this normal? under throttle it goes back up to normal pressure now it sits at just under 40 psi at idle.

funny you guys talk about oil pressure because i looked at my gauge today and it seemed higher than normal, it was at like 60 ish and i dont know why, it is usually a lot lower, the only thing i have done recently is and oil and filter change and a 180 degree thermostat... any idea whats going on

normal on the oil pressure thing. it will take a couple hundred miles or so for the computer to fully learn the new rockers. so they are not done yet.

congrats on the new mod. really liked mine also.

Your oil should be fluctuating as your giving it throttle and letting off. Nothing really major though, but you should see it move. When im at idol, it runs just below middle mark (40?) when im at WOT its just above Middle
