oil pressure

[marty m]

what should the oil pressure gauage read on cold start up?and when driving?  also what is the correct idle speed................thanks all!!

[grinder]

what series ??

depends on how good your engine compression is.

mine onstart up was 1/2 way maybe a touch higher(havent driven it for so long i cant remember) and when warm 1/4 maybe BUT it needed a rebuild.


i have seen a freshly built engine which on startup is off the gauge, and 1/2 or above(again dodgy memory)when warm.


not a very accurate answer sorry but you get the idea.


that was for a 3rd gen but the same idea works on all im sure.

I\'ve just rebuilt mine, and when idling (warm) it sits comfortably at 30

Hope this helps:wave
