    Shorthood oil pressure

    I just got a new to me shorthood and got it running for the first time in who knows when. I changed out the anti freeze and oil put a new carb on it and tried starting it to see if the motor had any life. It fired up after about the 3rd rotation of the starter oil pressure is 40 psi is that something to be worried about?

    Spec for the F-162 is 7# min and 20-30# max. For the later F-163 is the same min and 30-40 max. I wouldn't give it another thought.
