I have searched the archives but cannot find anything regarding my particular issue. My oil pressure is at 84 psi (I have 3 washers under the ball spring) when I take off and about 5 minutes into the flight the oil pressure slowly backs down to 55 psi and after the oil temp gets to 180 degrees the oil pressure goes back up to 84 psi. I have 5.5 hours and a total of 6 flights on the airplane and it is consistent every time I fly. I am hoping for some insight before I go tearing things apart. The engine runs great and has not spit, sputtered or coughed.
