The
oil pressure in the Windsor fluctuates quite significantly bouncing around at 150 to 200 kpa (20-30psi)at 2000 rpm and nearer 100 (15psi) at hot idle.
The gauge needle can bounce from almost zero to 200kpa even at constant revs. It rarely get higher than this at redline.
On the track it's most worrying, under extreme cornering as the
oil sloshes around in the sump the pressure is all over the place. I don't really want to go dry sump.
I'm wondering if the (new) gauge or sender maybe dodgy or is this normalish pressure for a Windsor.
Also any recommendations for an
oil pressure alarm/buzzer.....might make me feel a bit less nervous about an engine failure
Thanks
