I know this has been discussed. I just wanted opinions on my situation. I know the "rule of thumb" 10lbs pressure per 100 RPM.
At cold idle I see 50 lbs
At hot idle I see 12-15lbs (Idle is about 600rpm)
At 2000 RPM Hot I see 40 lbs.
I'm running 20-50 without my
oil cooler hooked up. Since this is a fresh rebuild I plan to drop the fluids in 500 miles then hookup the cooler.
My only *slight*
worry is the hot idle pressure. According to the rule I'm still ok. I suspect once the
oil cooler is hooked up it will help the situation. I don't have the
oil temp guage hooked up yet either for the same reason as the cooler. I didn't want to drop the oil to hook them up.
Thoughts?
