I noticed, even before the rebuild and again after the rebuild, that it takes a more time for my Trooper's C223T engine to build oil pressure than I like(4-6 seconds for the idiot light to turn off). This only occurs when the engine was hot and then shut down, and left long enough to really drain the engine of its oil. But not long enough to completely cool down. When it is cold/cool, or you had only left the engine off for a few mninutes, this is not an issue. Does anyone else experience this?

For instance, today, a mild winter's day, I shut it off, and I was in a customer's office for a quick meeting. I was in there maybe 30 minutes and came back out, started the engine, and the pressure delay occurred. When I was in the bank for a quick minute this afternoon, it did NOT have this delay. Tomorrow morning when it is dead cold, I will likewise NOT see this delay.

One other thing, and I assumed this was normal, but maybe not: Both before and after the rebuild, when the engine is dead cold, the pressure pegs the guage at max until it warms up. Then pressure is normal.

Just looking for some corroborating testimony (-;
