I have a high capacity oil pan and there is a spacer on my oil pickup. I've never had my oil pressure light come on.

If anyone can shed more light on this, please do so!


Doesn't that light come on at ~3ish psi of pressure? That doesn't give me warm fuzzy feelings about the build. Might want to have a local trusted shop give a second opinion.
