Shiit, somehow i said rich when i meant to say LEAN, sorry.... Anything above 14.7 is LEAN.

No great ideas, if you haven't already it might be a good idea to check the oil pressure with an external gauge. The sending units generally fail railed high or low but it could be good to check and easy but probably not the case. I am thinking you next steps might be to pull the oil pan and look at the pickup and make sure it isn't clogged, then look at the pump. This is all assuming you still don't have any external leaks.

Not sure if you got a tune with your test pipes, exhaust and intake but that could be the cause of your lean issue, the lack of one that is. The oil problem is beyond me, sorry but im pretty useless lol.

This vacuum line was not hooked up correctly. Apparently the previous owner had capped off where it was supposed to run from the valve cover to the hose between intake pipes. It caused my oil pressure to be extremely low, so that problem is solved. As for how lean my car is running, I think it's because my new exhaust is a true duel and the sensor for the wideband is only reading 1 bank, have to figure something out there. It almost feels like the car is loading up under cruising conditions, once you start running it hard again it clears up and runs perfect. It even smells like its running rich. I'm going to see if i can get the issue tuned out in December. Until then i'm going to go through all my sensors and see if one if burnt out or not functioning properly.

My HR doesnt have this hose hooked up and my oil pressure is normal

well the breather for the valve cover was actually capped on mine rather than vented so from what I understand it was working against the oil pressure once the car got warm. It caused the gaskets inside the front timing cover to blow.

yeah, make's sense, it's wild such a small set of hoses can cause such big problems. I'm still getting a p0021 code so I think I'm going to change the camshaft position sensor for bank 2, see if that will solve it.

Now I have a dry lifter, I have not been operating the car with this oil starvation issue. Any suggestions would be great, the car hasn't even broken 60k miles. I have no upgrades beyond test pipes, exhaust and intake.
my oil pressure is high. in 6th gear at 2k r.p.m. im hitting 90 psi and 110-120 on start up alone. and idle at 30psi. so i might be kinda same boat. Ive changed the sensor and sending module along with the oil since ive seen the dealership use higher weight in the summer (dumb ****s) so im def subbing to this post.

From what i understand 90-110 on cold start is normal, but at 2k rpm's in 6th is bad news bears if the car is already hot. I'm really at a loss when it comes to high oil pressure.
