mines about 70-80 at idle when cold

10 when fully warmed at idle and about 40 at 4k revs.


is this what others would consider 'normal' ?

If worried about pressure remove the oil switch from the braided pipe and fit a wet gauge to check . Do this when fully warmed up with both engine fans cutting in.At the end of the switch is a hole with some cilican in,dig it out and you can ajust pressure to what ever you want .Not that this was done at the factory much !!!!!!.Also a quick way to inprove oil pressure on a tired engine
