Is that 18psi when its warm. If this is a new engine. Did you build it or is this a crate engine? If its a crate engine. I would call the builder, and find out. Your oil pump is either putting out low pressure, or there is a restriction. Now our motors do sound kind of funny when they idle. Mine kind of chrips.
