Has any one had a problem with low oil pressure when the engine is warm on a KAD42P-A Changed the sensor. low press alarm still going off at an idle 10psi.
 
There are 2 oil pressure relie

There are 2 oil pressure relief valves in the houseing below the oil cooler. I would recomend these be checked before getting into bearings etc.
 
KAD42-A hot oil pressure high

KAD42-A hot oil pressure high rpm is 35 to 38psi
hot oil pressure at an idle is 10 to 12 psi
can you tell me if this is in specs?
 
"Had exactly the same readings

"Had exactly the same readings on my 41 for one engine after the rebuild. They replaced the sender and I went to spec (65-70 I think).
The other engine was only just getting to 58-60,
and the low press alarm sounded after a run down to idle. Soooooooo because these senders are not cheap cleaned up the terminals and wires etc and the low P alarm went away. Decided to replace it anyways, and guess what pressure went up to spec like the other engine. PS these are made by Porche, so if you cross ref the books they are available as a after market, but the thead is taper instead of the straight on the Penta version. Good luck"
