Leon
and anyone else who cares to comment...
The
remaining question with my installation is whether the oil pressure is
acceptable, or whether something actually wrong.
Everything
has been triple calibrated now, so I'm pretty sure of the following
readings.....
Start-up
at 70F ambient gets me 80 - 85PSI. Once the oil gets hot I'm seeing
about 15 or so at idle, 25 PSI at 2000 rpm, 45 PSI at 3500 rpm, and
maybe 60 PSI at 4000. Talking about today with Tracy he felt it was
marginal, and was wondering if this might be normal with a combination
of a turbo and a redrive both taking pressure. Other possible causes
he suggested were Ed's spinning shaft syndrome or air being sucked by a
leaking oil pickup.
I
hate to remove the engine (again) to check these items.
What
do people think? Anything else I can check?
