Hello Gang:
I know that the general consensus is 20-25 lbs is good but mine idles warm at
around 40lbs and about 55-60 at speed. If your engine is in good shape, you
may want to modify the oil pressure relief valve to generate a bit more
pressure, especially at idle. I know the average oil pressure at hot idle
seems to be around 20-25lbs., but what's the group's consensus on what's
actually GOOD for our engines?
