oil pressure
bugzla - November 27th, 2011 at 08:03 PM

what should oil pressure be at idle when warm and at cruising speed in a t1 motor
anybody have any ideas

The bare minimum is 10psi per 1000rpm at operating temp.

most engines that aren;t on their last legs seem to hover around 30-40psi cruisng at 3000rpm.

Oil choice has a huge effect though, Ive seen nearly 10psi differences in the same engine with same grade oil just switching brands.
