Truth!

10 psi at a million RPM? Seems a bit low to me.

*****BLAME IT ON THE ALCOHOL*****

at 150º F 56 psi at 3000 rpm.


- Your not-so-local, untrained, uncertified, backyard mechanic. But my @!#$ runs

around 4-8 psi at idle would be fine and safe, when hot

doesnt need to be high

most oil pressure senders and guages arent very accurate anyways though

as long as you have some kind of pressure at idle then it be fine

especially if no tapping/ticking, or worse, noise

no ticking other than normal injectors ticking that is
