What oil are you using? In those I’d use the Merc/Quicksilver syn blend 25/40 or better yet 25/50. I would not use a 5/ or 10/ anything! The lowest that my old 4.3 V6 gets to after running on plane is about 25 psi at idle; after idling did a few min it will rise to about 40. I use the Merc syn blend 25/50. On plane it’s at about 60. This is an original short block from 1988 that got a top end overhaul about 7 years ago.
