Here's my problem, I recently changed my upper oil pan on my SR. Put everything back together, and now I'm only getting ~20-30psi of oil pressure during cold starts. However, my idle is normal at around 12-15psi when warm, and 60-80 when I get on it. Before, my autometer gauge read ~70-80psi during cold starts. There are no leaks at all and im running 10w30 weight.
I've already searched, found a few threads, but none were answered. Anyone have any possible solutions? I'll probably be taking the oil pan off again, make sure I put everything back correctly.

Thanks in advance.

edit: problem solved. oil pick up wasn't torqued all the way.
