The actual installation only took two minutes, but I spent a miserable 1.5-hours putting back the lower cowl. Since installing the new oil hoses the oil cooler doesn't "hang" as before and getting the bottom of the cooler notches to slip into the cowl's engagement 'knobs" is a real pain. I finally wedged a small soft foam ball between the oil cooler and the muffler to properly position the cooler so that it would engage the 'knobs'....but what a pain. Was able to reach in from behind to remove the ball after the cowl was on. I flew this morning....idle and taxi pressures 55-60-psi...in flight at 5030 rpm the oil pressure ran 45-psi, about 4-psi more than before....stayed there during the flight....upon landing and taxi it rose again into to 50-or-so range. I am going to live with this for a while before trying anything else...as Roger said, it might be an air bubble that might work it self out.. More if progress is made.
