I'm having a oil pressure issue both pre and post engine rebuild build.

I have another topic on that -

I thought I'd ask another question --

what are the symptoms if there are issues with the water/oil cooler on a 951?

I have a new OPRV. I also have new seals in the oil cooler kit.

I have no intermix -- we pulled the thermostat and observed
proper operation in boiling water. Is it possible that mis alignment
or something could be consistently contributing to Oil Pressure issues?

I haven't hooked up a oil temp gauge yet -- but that's TBD soon.

low oil pressure after the car warms.

same symptoms before and after rebuild. (spun a bearing after op light came on at track,
but I had 3 months of oil related issues)

4.75bar at cold idle,

~1.5bar @ 1100 rpm idle when warm-- 20W/50+1 qt 60wt.
~3-3.5 bar at 3500 rpm when warm.
new rod, main bearings, rebuilt turbo, no balance shafts, replaced oil pump,
oprv, checked valve in heads, crank bolt > 150 ft lbs, new sender, new pickup tube
and support, cross drilled crank and scraper -- baffled pan.
