New User, big B3300SU problems

[jbthompson]

OK guys, New pump installed and ran last night. Primed system prior to starting and shes sounds really good.
When installing the oil pump, I did completely coat it thickly in bearing grease, just to help it seat in and help create initial vacuum. Doing this, I know will be thickening my oil.
I did install a gauge in the sensor location and on initial start and while running for 3-4 minutes oil pressure held around 48-50psi. Revved a little, but not much and it did go up some with RPM's.
I know the thicker oil will increase the pressure, but plan to change that oil again today after running some more.
What should my actual oil pressure be at idle?

35-55 at PTO speed, and 10+ at hot idle (worn engines) 20+ (newer engines)

Ok, here we go... Ran the tractor with my 5' cutter for several hours today watching the newly installed gauge the whole time. At idle, after hot, runs about 20+psi, with cutter running at 540RPM, gauge runs about 38+PSI. Sounds really good and no hiccups. Think shes OK.
Thanks for all the help and direction on here. You guys rock!

Glad to hear it is running alright after the repair.
