96 x90, G16B (16v) 4x4 Manual.
On start up great oil pressure, anything above idle great oil pressure as expected. After it gets warm though the idle oil pressure drops to 10/12, but pops right back up as soon as I tip in on the gas pedal. I have a nervous breakdown every time I come to a stop light due to this indication. Is that normal for one of these engines? the few things I've read have loosely suggested the oil pressure should never dip below 20... thus my concern. Did some searching here and couldn't come up with a more specific line of information.. any insight would be appreciated!
Fully rebuilt engine, block and head by a very reputable engine shop who have done many of these same engines. I've got a full array of excessively expensive Autometer gauges so theres no reason for me to doubt the gauge indication being accurate.
