But I had it running in the garage for a while.. I need to do a crankcase vent or something because it has like 75PSI of oil pressure at idle and like 110PSI when I hit the throttle..
congrats on fixing the knock!! but your high oil pressure isn't due to crankcase ventilation, what weight oil and what size oil pump are you running? also check your relief springs and pistons. your psi shouldn't be anymore than 50psi at idle when cold or 20psi idle hot, IMO
