tonyhawk Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I've had a hunt around in the forum as well as on the web and in my workshop manual, but I cannot find a max PSI rating for oil at the red line. As some of you may know I had an oil pressure problem recently which I have just resolved (stuck oil pressure release valve), and while I was there I put a pressure gauge in. I have just run up the engine and all seems well, but I was wondering what the oil pressure should be at the red line when hot? In the manual it says that the pressure should be 4.3psi at idle and between 43-78psi at 3000rpm, which means mine is spot on, but it then climbs a up to about 90-95 psi (hard to tell as the gauge goes up in 20's) at the red line. Is this normal? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyhawk Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Cheers mate, she's been off the road for about 6 months now what with one thing or another and I was so happy when she sprang into life after only two turns! I put the sandwich plate in this evening and put everything back into place, cranked it over for a while to get the oil round, reconnected the coils, then crank, crank, boom!!! Very happy; just seeing the pressure rise like that, when I haven't seen it on a guage before made me paranoid that the problem might have gone the other way! All I need now is an MOT and Tax...
