I don't think I agree, If I had just rebuilt my engine I'd expect a dam site more oil pressure than 4 bar on throttle :?
I know Steve's runs over 6 bar on throttle and even mics standard engine runs 6 bar on throttle as well, And my engine still ran more than that after it had blown up :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: !!!!
Blobby are you sure you weren't using mm instead of thousands of an inch when you did your measuring ? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .

that pressure isnt a problem robbie, if i had uprated the pump to a hiher pressure pump then it would have ran a higher bar pressure!
the other thing that will lower the pressure is the fitting of an oil cooler, as the pump has more work to do, if i removed the oil cooler the pressure would be raised.
it doesnt really matter what the oil pressure is, as long as there is sufficient oil pressure to supply all moving parts, and that it raises with engine load!
i have seen big ends go before as you stated, but oil pressure remains still high and no oil light has come on, as the bearing has spun on a shaft etc!
too high an oil pressure isnt a good thing either as this could indicate blocked oilways, hence less oil getting to moving parts, or a prob with the oil pressure relief valve, and seals etc will start to leak!
think of it as a human body! if blood pressure is to high death could occur:lol: and if its to low this will also result in an untimely death by means of a stroke etc:shock:if archeries are blocked blood pressure will raise and your head will explode off your shoulders :shock: :shock:
didnt know that im a trained vet come doctor come mechanic, did you :lol: :lol: :lol:
