Hi Folks
This chap sent me this tech question. Could some of you please tell him
whether it is ok or not, I am not that familiar with the oil pressure readings
that come from a fully reconditioned 2.5 engine never having had one!
Please cc him as he is not on the list.
Thanks for your time!

Graham.

I have rebuilt a 72 Tr6 engine. The rebuild included all new oversized
pistons, turned crankshaft and all new main and rod bearings. The head was
also gone over. A reground camshaft and all new lifters. On start up the oil
pressure was 75 psi. but after warm up I only had 25 psi at 850 RPM. At 1000
RPM the pressure was 45-55 PSI.  Is that normal oil pressure on a rebuilt
engine?
