oil pressure

[TXGS]

I want to get a concensus on your oil pressures.

When your car is at temprature and your car is in gear at idle what pressure are you seeing.

Thanks:TU:

20psi if it's really hot out, 25psi if it's mid 60's outside........ in drive at 650-700rpm

Thanks mike. Do you happen to know how tight your clearences are. Rod, mains and oil pump.

You need to check the oil temp while reading the pressure too. In case you're not aware, the oil takes a lot longer to get up to running temp compared to the coolant. And the obvious, the pressure will fall off some as the oil temp increases.:ROLL:

It's been a while since the bottom end has been apart, but I think I ran the oil pump at .003 ...... The kit I had, had different gaskets with different thicknesses if I remember correctly.
The Mains were set at .0010 and the rods at .0015 if I remember correctly.:TH:
