forged 5e oil pressure

[rwdrev]

just in the middle of building my forged 5e, all is going fine, but worryed about oil pressure relief valve. do i shim it up with a small washer now? or do i put it together and see how it goes? i will have a gauge to keep an eye on pressure, but what sort of pressure am i looking for on first start up and when its warmed up. i do remember seeing it somewhere but cant find it again.

Cheers

does this raise the pressure all the time even on idle ? or just at WOT ? im getting 4.5bar wot and 1 bar idle hot .. fully rebuilt 4e new oil pump and cleaned out the relief valve,

i ended up putting in 2x 1mm (ish) washers, robbed them off my parts washer.....only things i could find that would fit, lol. bloody thrust bearing had stopped the job (orc 309 i have dont work with standard thrust bearing) what sort of pressure should i be aiming for?
