Changed mains, con rod, thrust washers. . 001-.002 clearance on the bearings
(by plastigage), .004 on the end play, all standard.
County con rod, AE mains. Oil pump. All from MOSS.
Valvolene W20-50.
Oil pressure;
at start - 70 psi
3K rpm (at speed/at temperature-185F) - 40 (+/-10) psi
185F idle - 1.2K rpm (20 miles or more) 20 psi
185F idle - < 1.0K rpm 10 psi
I thought I'd have more pressure at idle. Any thoughts?
TIA, Best Regards,
Ed (58 TR3A)
