I've posted many times on this particular project car. Has low overall oil pressure but runs well. Probably because of bearing wear. My question is: how bad is this?
Vids below show hot oil pressure is almost instantaneous when starting after being off for ~5min. The second video shows when cold (~ 60 degrees ambient temp) it takes almost 2 seconds for oil pressure to build - and it's even worse when colder.

Sorry for poor quality. The hot oil pressure is 15-20 psi, the cold oil pressure is 75-80 psi.
