Kevin,
 
I believe it's the oil jet mod. I see the same pressures. At idle I can be in the 20's.

Subject: [FlyRotary] oil pressure

I am running my new turrentine-built 2004 renesis engine without a prop right now, so no load.  I noticed about 60 lbs oil pressure when first started, cold.  I made a few runs up to 4000rpm after some warm up and noticed oil pressure reading more like 40 lbs.  this seems bad.  can I adjust oil pressure?  what else should I be looking for?
 
also, what should I put over the oil fill tube?  it is open, with 2 thin bolts protruding.
